I feel that a 12 years old child is perfectly capable of making that decision for him/herself if given all the facts and not pressured into going one way or the other. Maybe a lesson or two in school would help?

Still a little unclear here ... ok .. parents, at present, can make the decision once the child has passed away, however, goes on to say that a 12 year old is perfectly capable of making the decision to sign up for donors card, but under this age is what I am getting at. A 2-year old dies and heart passed on to new born.. who, obviously, would not be capable of applying for a donor's card and, therefore, could not accept a donated organ. So what happens then ? Would be quite a few anomalies and grey areas in this thinking.
Am I making sense ?
