Thanks for your note. Here's Rob Bouchie's response to your question: “A person can be 'registered' to be both an organ donor and a whole body donor. At the time of death, if a waiting life can be saved, I will always suggest to the family to pursue organ donation. Only if the harvesting of the organ donor is minimally invasive can they qualify as both, (i.e. skin, retina, etc.). The procedure involving harvesting a major organ would disrupt the circulatory system in such a way that the perfusion would not be absolute and would not qualify.” -- CD
