    Pretty sure the body still has to be alive for most organ donation… but maybe I’m wrong when it comes to eyes…

    But it sounds sketchy as fuck.

    • I know you are getting briggaded, but I also know for a fact you are at least partially right.

      My partner has a surgery dependent on a “very recent” donor being the requirement, not alive but like, about as close as you can get. It wasn’t looking, good and I was considering taking out ads targeting 18-24 year old about how cool it is to ride motorcycles without helmets, but then we got lucky, so no need.

        Recency is a big thing. When my mom died, they put like a cooling pack on her eyes to help preserve them in the like hour or two they needed to determine if she could donate them.
