Default Over a year ago I'd asked the same ???'s?

and got a royal run-around as well. From my hospital, my state gov't [DMV and health dept...you name it?], The upshot of what I got.. [and my main concern is that I receive IVIG monthly for immune issues] IS THAT -- It would be evaluated on an 'individual basis'. I guess that means, how badly any functional organ part that is left could be transferred successfully?
Humm, IVIG is a product used by many who GET organ transplants to help avoid immune rejection problems...so I guess that aspect is covered?

I got no satisfaction that any part of me could be potentially useful. That was my intent? It would be very nice to KNOW in advance that IF you could donate organs that at least SOME would be useful. Otherwise? I think the idea of donation to specific research hospitals might be a good option.
Somehow these days, it does seem as if simple things [seemingly] such as this should not become so complicated.

Hey! Mods! Doc John? Do you think you could find some few experts in this quarter who could present all the different pros-cons-quirks of this whole thing? That could really be [as Martha would say:] A really good thing!?

I wonder if such experts even 'lurk' here? 's - j
