Page "Anencephaly" Paragraph 12

The pros of organ donations are that many children will be saved from death, and additionally, parents of many anencephalic children believe that some good comes from organ donation.

Furthermore, it saves the costs of caring for a terminally ill child ; and instead of two babies dying, health care providers are able to save one.

The cons are that several laws prevent removing organs from a living being or make organ donation from anencephalics impossible, some organs from anencephalic children cannot be transported due to abnormalities and the fear that there is not a significant amount of anencephalic donors to reach the demand for certain organs, such as kidneys.
