LOL, yup....you can get new eyes if you need them. I'm sure there are certain circumstances and prerequisites that must be fulfilled before you can be put on the list....but yeah....you'd be surprised at what they can do these days.
I can't really touch on the illegal immigrant status of the family. I'm in Canada and I guess I don't understand the issues/problems surrounding this subject.
However, I'm surprised you say it's 'free'?? Several years ago, my parents drove my kids down to Disneyland. On the drive down, they both came down with Chicken Pox. (good timing for me....hehe...grandma had to care for them *innocent grin*).....my mom took them to emerg, where they were diagnosed and given the required medication etc. My parents paid the hospital costs out of their own pockets, and when they returned, my BC Medical reimbursed us for the costs. This was NOT free by any means for us.
Regardless, aside from the issue of the family being illegal immigrants....I still cannot reconcile their choice not to donate.

I still think it's pretty presumtuous of those of us sitting here speculating on what they should do to criticize people who've just been through the emotional roller coaster these people have been through. I can tell you that I'd like to I'd be benevolent about it - but more likely I would be as irrational as hell, and in jail over one dead fucking doctor.

I think you've hit it here. This didn't happen to us. Therefore we can sit here with a clear mind and make reasonable decisions. I can only guess as to what the family is thinking/feeling. HOWEVER, I STILL can't reconcile their choice not to donate...I just can't...no matter WHAT they are feeling at the time. Unless we are given further information about their decision, I just can't force myself to feel empathetic towards them.
