How
Long do other organ transplants last?

"Your loved one checked the box to be an organ donor at the DMV. Now they're dead. What happens?"
Salon has a fascinating report: "When does death begin? And what do we do when it looks uncannily like life?"

==
Last week, ProPublica reported on the death of Bob Naedele, who passed after he received an infected heart; his death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested for Chagas.
The policy change comes after years of recommendations from experts for screening to prevent such deaths.

==
Bob Naedele died after receiving a heart from a donor with Chagas disease.
His death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested. The group that governs U.S. transplant policies is considering mandatory screening of at-risk donors.
