That's nonsense, because the partner would not donate his liver if it went to someone else.
Right? Like I would donate my liver to my kid, or my spouse, without even questioning it.
But if the doctor told me they can't have it (for some reason other than incompatibility), and they died? Fuck them. I'd de-register as an organ donor out of spite.
Donating an organ is a pretty invasive operation that can have a lot of complications, doctors aren't only taking the recipient health, but the donor too, in the equation.
We're explicitly talking about a situation where the donor is suitable. So I don't know what kind of information you're trying to add here.
Even if the donor is suitable, the operation to extract the donor organ is invasive and can have complications.
All true, yet it has nothing to do with what we are discussing, so why are you muddying the water with it?
