Organ donation is wrong?

YinYangMom:

I wonder, though, if organs from the elderly or disabled would be harvestable anyway. I would imagine that by 75 years of age or so my organs would be on their last legs anyway so they would not be of much help to a donor recipient. As for the disabled, I suppose it depends on the disability and the age of death. Certainly something worth considering, though. Thanks for mentioning it.

My stepfather just passed away a few weeks ago. He was 74 (died of an aneurysm), and a life-long heavy smoker. He signed his organ doner card, and the hospital took the bones from both his forearms (tibia and fibula?) as well as his corneas. I was surprised by this, as well. I guess there’s always something that’s useful, even if it’s only for research.
