“Perez was a registered organ donor and doctors told the family they were prepared to harvest the organs for donations.”

There is no story here.

The deceased was an adult and wanted to donate her organs.

The hospital fulfilled her wishes.

Her family has no standing.

She wanted to save lives.

Her family is being selfish and disrespecting of life.

Except she was not deceased if I read the article right. And in the article it does state that because she was not dead the family still had a say.
These comments from the article suggest the family still had the legal right
“The Tarrant County medical examiner says Perez died Wednesday and doctors have declared Perez brain-dead, although the hospital declined to confirm that citing patient privacy.
?
You’d think if the hospital had declared her dead they would admit it.

and one expert ( who knows how qualified this person was) said the family still had rights.
“The Tarrant County medical examiner says Perez died Wednesday and doctors have declared Perez brain-dead, although the hospital declined to confirm that citing patient privacy.”
What a tragic situation for the family.
