Mentally I'll does NOT equal mentally unstable, just as physically I'll does NOT equal physically unstable. As a Nurse, it frustrates me to see such misinformation as "people with mental illnesses can't get organ transplants" out on the Internet. This is absolutely NOT accurate information. Krisakira, I'm not sure who the "they" is that you are speaking of or what website you have been reading, but please consider the source of the information you are getting. I've been in Healthcare for 15 years and have never seen someone denied an organ transplant due to a mental illness. I've seen the Surgeons and Doctors require people to have professional support for their MI's before they go through with the transplant, but I've never seen or heard of anyone being declined for that reason.
