this article might be of interest to emily2:
A death row inmate's request that his execution next week be delayed so he can be an organ donor for his ailing sister isn't the first time a condemned man has tried to donate an organ. But the issue of a condemned inmate donating an organ does raise ethical concerns.on the other hand, Stay Free! mentions something about the gov'ment trying to regulate donations from our own bodies (!!!)
Turns out that there are essentially no regulations protecting donors -- no followup, no nothing. So if you donate a chunk of your lung and run into respiratory problems six months later, you're pretty much out of luck.
