I don't get it, if a child only lived for about an hour, why would one think their organs are safe to use?

Not necessary, Brains of not devolped Babys are already rare to aquire and fascinaiting to study, at most if it was the reason for said failure it may be even worth aquiring it to get the particular reason for why it failed, but for some reason you have to state often extra that your organs may be used for scientific purposes.

Dunno why, not like they can implant my brain into someone.

If they knew she was going to die, that means they knew what was wrong with her. In fact, the article implies they were aware of this BEFORE the pregnancy. So they already knew what the problem is and therefore already knew which organs would be functional and which (if any) would not. Autopsy probably wasn't even necessary.

I am an organ donor, but I can give some reasons for not wanting to be one. For instance, if you get in an accident and put on life supply, and they don't know if you will survive, they might give up on your body sooner to use your organs. There is a story not sure if true or not of a girl who was in a coma and her parents had just given up hope and signed the papers, when she woke up. There is like less than 1% chance of that happening, but it is worth considering. I doubt that is what the majority of people think about when they choose not to be donors, most likely it is because they haven't taken the time to sign the papers, they have a religious reason behind it, or maybe they want their entire body to be buried, not just the shell kind of religious perhaps, but I for one has chosen not to donate my skin, because I want to be buried in it. The rest they can take and then make me up like they do with stuffed animals, but I think there should be something to keep the stuffing together.

That kinda ruins his whole post. It's just *********** really.

Instead of *********** , he could have said something in the lines of "If your religion prohibits you of an act that would save the life of someone else, there must be something wrong. Back in the days the bible was written, organ transfer was something that could never have been achieved by the equipment available those days.

Or anything else that could start a discussion. Because what he said just leads to more *********** .

I can imagine that it's even rarer for an infant to be able to receive a transplant than an adult or even a child. Small body cavities and such. But there are plenty of babies born with heart defects, etc that may or may not be operable and perhaps a transplant is their only option.

Someone with more personal knowledge on the subject may know otherwise though.

Pretty much.
But we're talking about a species that will happily undergo a treatment that will buy them far less time than that. I'm not a doctor or know anyone who's had a heart transplant but I'd assume there's a plan B for when the donor heart eventually fails. Get back on the transplant list? In the scheme of things, 10-15 years is a pretty good stretch if it means there might be more advances in medicine down the road.

When my dad died, I was given the decision of whether his organs should be donated.
