I heard that Jesica Santillan's parents declined to donate her organs, which - under the circumstances - I can understand.

But wouldn't her organs have already been damaged by anti-rejection drugs?
Or by trauma due to the complications from the botched transplant?

The organs that could have been donated were her eyes, most of the rest were too damaged to donate. There have been some reports that the parents not donating them was due to a language barrier.

Thank you for your replies.
The whole situation was a tragedy - I hope that never happens again.
