speaking of using children for organ donations

[MarMema]

"Nevertheless, in some circumstances we believe that the harm of dying is sufficiently small that patients or surrogates should be allowed to voluntarily accept it to be able to donate organs. For example, some might say that if they were ever diagnosed as being permanently unconscious they would accept the harm of dying if this would make it possible for them to donate their organs to others. Similarly, some patients who are imminently dying might be willing to have their life shortened by a few minutes or hours if this would make organ donation possible."
