Been watching the local news earlier, and they were on a bout that lad that fell off a balcony in Greece about, I think 11 years ago. He was left on a hospital trolly, and died through lack of care. A Greek doctor has been prosecuted for it. When the lad was sent home it was found that he was missing a kidney.
The family have been going on about it since. If you are dead, does it really matter if bits are taken from you? The only problem I have with this case is, that the Greeks sent a kidney back and tried to pass it off as his. What they should have done is said, "yes we took it for a transplant" Personally it would not bother me, I would prefer to be asked, but if time is of the essence, then why not? I think there should be a change in the law, so you have to opt out, rather than opt in.
