Default Re: Lets debunk some urban legends

this one never made sense to me. "i think i'll let this guy die, because his organs could save another guy!" it makes absolutely no sense at all. you're letting one guy die to save another guy? you could just save the guy who you're letting die! only way it could possibly make sense is if the doctor had a family member or friend on the organ list.

It makes sense if the organ donor will be all f'd up he lives (brain damage, paralysis, etc.) and the other guy will be just fine if he gets a new a liver or whatever.
