If I were a juror on this case I would be on the side of the organ recipient. Ignorance is no excuse and therefore the doctors are responsible. Testing of organs for disease should be mandatory before transplantation if it isn’t already because it is just plain old common sense.

How? How do you pick up a tiny focus of cancer cells in the organ? How long would it take? How many organs would die and be useless? This is a very rare occurrence. EVERYTHING in medicine is risk versus benefit. The correct analysis is the rare risk of a complication like this worth the benefit of receiving a transplant.
