Glossing over, for now, the issues with live organ donation (too often they don’t really try to make sure the donor is truly dead)... does EVERY or even MOST sets of lungs have someone to claim them? I thought there were a host of tissue matching issues. If there is competition over them that’s one story, but if most go to waste then how is that putting someone else at a disadvantage.
Very good points and what a waste indeed if there was a match for someone under 12 near death, not allowed to be considered because someone over 12, and in no immediate danger, had priority due to an outdated regulation/policy.
That's the problem with allowing bureaucrats getting involved in these matters instead of charities, physicians and families.
The UK is a fine example.
