I am not sure but I'd say the socialized medical care aka socialized medicine that is instituted in England has got a lot to do with what created this horror story including the highly imaginative title of Transplant Coordinator. (ugh!)

While I absolutely believe that daughter should have had the right to donate to her mother directly, it looks like that might have been a poor medical decision. Mom has already rejected a donated kidney and is also diabetic.
People have the right to make poor decisions. The girl made life better for some people, even if none of those people were her mother. I hope they can take some comfort from that.

I see, so in your opinion a “poor medical decision” should arbitrarily be overturned by some scumbag politician acting in the name of the “Human Tissue Authority”. Are you nuts? Tell me, would you really take comfort knowing that your dead daughter’s organs went to some stranger instead of prolonging or saving your, the mother’s life? Unbelievable that you could somehow justify this - the state being in control of your organs at death and using them against your wishes. I can think of few things more disgusting....

It’s obvious that neither Mom nor daughter are/were smokers. Smokers are routinely denied transplants or even surgery under such medical care systems. The donor organs of smokers here in the US are routinely rejected as well.

I'm not a donor because my organs can't be sold upon my death. Why should the hospital, surgeon, etc., etc., be able to bill a patient for their services, yet the most important part of the surgery, i.e.; my organs be given away, free of charge?

People have the right to make poor decisions
No bureacratic drones HAVE THE RIGHT TO take away the right of who gets an individual’s body parts.
We allow women to MURDER their kids IN THE WOMB and throw them in the garbage but just dare decide to give an intrinsic body part to someone of their choice and the self styled “ethicists” deny that right...what a crazy evil world.

That isn't what I said at all. I would absolutely support the direct donation from daughter to mother. They have the RIGHT to make that decision. Personally, I feel it would have likely been a poor decision. That doesn't mean they don't have the right to make it.
However, now that all is said and done, the only comfort they CAN take is that some people were helped.
