3. No, re: Schiavo organ donation

Once they administer a morphine drip to facilitate death the organs are rendured medically useless (i know this from experience) I don't know what condition her organs were in a week ago, but, if they were in good condition something probably could have been donated. The problem is if you remove a liver before an 'organ failure' death, removing the organ is the facilitator, which is currently medically unethical. Catch 22
