Nope. And I'm suspicious too. The weird thing is, this was some off-hand anecdote about some other topic, for which organ harvesting wasn't even the subject. Anyway, whenever organs are harvested from a patient who would have lived, it's not like we'd know. Assuming you don't believe the rate this happens is zero, I'm not sure we have substantially different expectations of how often it does.
- Dylan16807 9y ago"would have lived" with continued treatment isn't quite the right metric, because they'd be generally be withdrawing life support with or without taking the organs.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoI mean recovered, released from hospital, is-not-a-vegetable.
