They are strict about it because they have to "first do no harm". With a dead donor ;) it doesnt matter ... the organ, as long as it is not diseased, is better than the organ the recipient has. Make sense? And I understand how unfair it is and that is why made mention of it on my blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552918781072146852noreply@blogger.com
