  > The boy—though not technically brain dead—had suffered so much brain damage after a near drowning that doctors determined he would never wake from a coma. So his family decided to take him off life support and to donate his organs. I don't see how the organ donation affected the care he received. Presumably if organ donation were not an option, the family would have chosen to withdraw life support anyway. Having the option of organ donation merely reduced the emotional pain of it by being able to help people at the same time.
