Still a little unclear here ... ok .. parents 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.. they would not be allowed to apply for a donor's card at 2-year old surely, and parents not right to sign up for them if they themselves are in need of a donor. Am I making sense ?
