#4 So this is what the Mafia is doing now? They can't make enough money doing it the approved way? The criteria for tissue donation is less stringent than solid organ transplantation. They usually never have problems getting approval, since being able to help others can give the donor's loved ones solace in a unique way.

Back in mid-summer 2004 a horrible misfortune happened where a man who died of rabies was mistakenly used as an organ donor.

5 people died, including a woman who got some vein tissue.
