The mother of a patient in dire need of a heart, and a pair of lungs, ceases to pray for the survival of her son for the following uncomfortable reason: 'Feels like you're asking for somebody else to die.' Though merely an extra in the main plot of McHaffie's ''Over My Dead Body'', the situation of this mother quite successfully conveys just how complex the ethics of organ donation are.
