While I absolutely believe that daughter should have had the right to donate to her mother directly, it looks like that might have been a poor medical decision. Mom has already rejected a donated kidney and is also diabetic.

People have the right to make poor decisions. The girl made life better for some people, even if none of those people were her mother. I hope they can take some comfort from that.

I see, so in your opinion a “poor medical decision” should arbitrarily be overturned by some scumbag politician acting in the name of the “Human Tissue Authority”. Are you nuts? Tell me, would you really take comfort knowing that your dead daughter’s organs went to some stranger instead of prolonging or saving your, the mother’s life? Unbelievable that you could somehow justify this - the state being in control of your organs at death and using them against your wishes. I can think of few things more disgusting....

No bureacratic drones HAVE THE RIGHT TO take away the right of who gets an individual’s body parts.

We allow women to MURDER their kids IN THE WOMB and throw them in the garbage but just dare decide to give an intrinsic body part to someone of their choice and the self styled “ethicists” deny that right...what a crazy evil world.

And your point is? Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney failure incase you didn’t know that. It doesn’t have to be uncontrolled either they just give up after years of the diease. By your thinking a diease like diabetes should keep you from recieving a transplant? I sure hope if I ever need a transplant that someone with your attitude isn’t in charge of organ procurement! I’m going on 38 years as a type 1 diabetic with my original kidneys so who knows what could happen in the future. I don’t think at 47yo that I should be denied because something way beyond my control happened to me. Socialized medicine sacres me to death!
