The question is a bit tricky! There isn't a single organ that absolutely cannot be donated. While certain conditions might preclude the donation of specific organs, like a heart attack preventing heart donation, the possibility of donating other organs still exists. The key is that organs are evaluated individually. If someone dies from a heart attack, they might still be able to donate their kidneys and liver.
Here's why:
- Organ donation is only possible after death. Organs need a continuous supply of oxygen-rich blood to remain viable for transplantation.
- Many factors determine organ suitability. Medical conditions, age, and overall health are all considered.
- The list of donable organs is constantly expanding. Technological advancements allow for more organs and tissues to be donated.
Therefore, there's no single organ that's completely off-limits for donation. It depends on the individual circumstances and the organ's condition.
