45. Not after a high speed accident

Too much internal damage to the organs.

Also the body would never make it to the hospital soon enough. They have to investigate the scene of the crash before they pull the body fron the wreckage. I will assume the odds of that heart being reused are a solid 0 percent

Not likely.	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#9

The article says he died at the hospital, so a second harvest seemed a possibility . . .	Journeyman	Apr 2015	#53
No, it's not.	LisaL	Apr 2015	#80
No. The heart can not be re-transplanted.	LisaL	Apr 2015	#79

I'm pretty sure that's for minor traffic offenses and minor violations.	Hassin Bin Sober	Apr 2015	#27

He ran into the pole DURING the chase.	KamaAina	Apr 2015	#36
He also ran over a pedestrian	XemaSab	Apr 2015	#39
Im aware of that	Travis_0004	Apr 2015	#44
Wow...Way to piss away a second chance at life	Blue_Tires	Apr 2015	#3

He shot at an elderly woman during an attempted burglary.	EL34x4	Apr 2015	#13
Ok, that's obviously a case where you would pursue	bluestateguy	Apr 2015	#14
He would have eventually ended up killing someone	Reter	Apr 2015	#30
Unfortunately, This Was Not One Of Those Instances	Corey_Baker08	Apr 2015	#67

There are screening guidelines for a reason.	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#7
There is nothing in the link however that says he didn't comply with the medical requirements.	Gormy Cuss	Apr 2015	#11
Not at that link, but a different source	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#32
Noncompliance is more common in adolescents. Does this mean they should be skipped on the list?	Gormy Cuss	Apr 2015	#43
The reality is that some of those likely play an indirect role, because noncompliance	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#47
Jinx!	riderinthestorm	Apr 2015	#49
:)	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#50
I selected those noncompliance risks from one study. Other studies refute the education marker.	Gormy Cuss	Apr 2015	#60
You are looking at a study which typed people,	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#75
BTW. It was not "hindsight"	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#84
academics	forsaken mortal	Apr 2015	#87
The screening process doesn't lump people into categories like you are doing	riderinthestorm	Apr 2015	#48
Smoking is non-compliance, for obvious reasons. A smoker will not get a heart transplant.	Yo_Mama	Apr 2015	#52
That was not in the OP link	Gormy Cuss	Apr 2015	#55
Stokes was non-compliant before his transplant. We know that	riderinthestorm	Apr 2015	#58
And when the med team calls it incorrectly and denies a spot on the transplant list, we won't know.	Gormy Cuss	Apr 2015	#62
The screening process is under constant scrutiny lol!	riderinthestorm	Apr 2015	#64
Why the LOL if you agreed with that point?	Gormy Cuss	Apr 2015	#65
I'm sorry, I just had a chuckle at thinking the process isn't reviewed regularly.	riderinthestorm	Apr 2015	#71
They couldn't say why he was a bad candidate due to privacy laws.	Yo_Mama	Apr 2015	#88

No you can't, however...	EL34x4	Apr 2015	#66
I wouldn't have given him the heart	christx30	Apr 2015	#68
He should not have been put on the list at the time.	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#78
Criminal behavior does NOT make you unworthy. It DOES demonstrate	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#77
Thank you.	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#76
Ms. Toad is right	dolphinsandtuna	Apr 2015	#15
:(	blackspade	Apr 2015	#8
the thought of having to be worthy just creeps me out	dembotoz	Apr 2015	#16
It's not a matter of being worthy	TexasMommaWithAHat	Apr 2015	#18
It has NOTHING to do with being worthy.	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#20
basic behavioral yes but to attach value statements makes me nervous	dembotoz	Apr 2015	#33
Spend some time reading the actual guidelines.	Ms. Toad	Apr 2015	#35
