I can't imagine so either but maybe? It depends on the health of the organ I guess? But if it has several years left in it it might be worth giving to an equivalently aged patient? Sure, they're not getting the heart of a fit 24-year-old who died in an accident but they still might get years of life they didn't have previously?

Maybe there should be opt-in Extra where families can't overrule the decreased person's wishes?
