X-Message-Number: 21229 From: Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 16:16:59 EST Subject: I made error - need information on organ transplants. --part1_40.2c0317e4.2b8942cb_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a recent Cryonet post, I said that biologically live organs are harvested from legally dead people. A friend or mine send me additional information: Organs for transplant are harvested from living patients who are declared brain dead. If cardiac arrest is the cause of death, those organs are not used. Does anyone on the forum know of exceptions to this rule - perhaps in other countries?
