Thread Name: BS: donating organs after death
Subject: RE: BS: donating organs after death
I worked for 6 years in a cardio thoracic unit and was part of the team on lots of organ retrievals. Heart retrievals were performed on living donors (but obviously brain dead) and it did seem strange removing organs from people who seemed to be just asleep. I remember one little girl with ginger hair, she looked so perfect before the retrieval. After I got home I just cried my eyes out.

Having said that they can have anything from me that they can use for transplant.
