For personal reasons, I have not visited the Terri sites recently.

However, today I heard an item of interest on the radio. It seems that organ transplant recipients are being encouraged to take organs from "less than perfect" donors, i.e. elderly people.

IMHO the organ transplant industry and IVF organizations are very much suspect in the push for euthanasia. Is harvesting donor eggs from young female accident victims allowed/commonplace? Does anyone know?

I have heard of egg harvesting from aborted female babies. Apparently when you are conceived, all the eggs you'll ever have are present, even as a fetus. Pretty wild. Nothing would surprise me at this point. I always thought that IVF involved at least using one's own eggs.
