Mike, fact check here. In transplant patients, the amount of drugs, especially the anti-rejection course, renders future transplantation of a recipients organs unfeasible. Whoever was the dim bulb that asked for permission was either an idiot or just wanted to generate adverse publicity.
I guess you can imagine the disclosure that the surgical team has to make to the recipient . . . oh, these organs came from a transplant patient that didn't make it . . .
