In fact, I am responsible for many cadaver donor organs, as most of them come from brain injured (and brain-dead) patients, and it is me, as the treating neurosurgeon, who usually introduces the discussion (about organ donation) with the family of the potential donor. Neither do I oppose donations from living donors (such as when one person donates a kidney to another) as long as the donor consents and is competent to do so. These situations are completely different from what we are talking about regarding embryonic tissue. Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P. C.
