The recipients are talking about suing. Can you imagine the strain on the system which would occur if the standard of care became that all organs would be tested for cancer (and whatever else) prior to being used? I would think a policy like that would kill more people than it saved.

Very sad for these four victims, but this seems like an inherent risk in that sort of procedure (although a very remote risk).

The problem could have probably just as easily been something like AIDS. Docs, correct me if I'm in left field here.
