**I have heard that most of her organs weren't suitable for donation because
of the massive amounts of medication she'd been on, but her skin for burn
victims and her corneas were useable, and the family refused because they
'didn't want her touched anymore'.  I imagine it would be hard to feel
generous after all they'd been through but it still galls me that someone
donated organs for their child twice, and they didn't see fit to do the
same.

There are so many people who go without treatment because they have no
insurance, and old people who have worked all their lives have to choose
between buying their medicine and eating, it shouldn't be that way for them.
