• Wtf reading the title I was expecting like maybe the kidney came from a doner and they didn't know he had rabies at the time. Then yiu read that the doner died from rabies and officials then took his kidneys.

    That makes it so much worse. If someone dies due to a highly infectious disease maybe dont give his organs to anyone else, even if its rare for the disease to infect the new host

    Didn't say they thought skunk scratch guy died of cardiac arrest? I do know rabies can't be detected in a blood sample

    Problem is with rabies because the body overheats due to the virus your organs shouldn’t be viable to even be considered for a transplant especially since your kidneys filter the blood

    My husband is on the transplant list. The story gives me one more thing to worry about

    Everyone who dies, dies of a cardiac arrest ultimately.

    If that's the official reason given then that's super sus.

  • Damn, that sucks! I can't even imagine what that would be like.

    Imagine the worst thing ever then keep digging

  • What a title. Holy hell.
