Man dies of rabies after kidney transplant from donor who saved cat from skunk
theguardian.comThere have been _3_ rabies transmissions in the IS in 50 years?
The writer suggests this likes it is rare. But organ donation is rare. And rabies is even rarer. That it has happened _three times_ seems surprising to me.
It makes sense to me. Donors are hard to come by -- you need someone healthy right up to the point that they died. People who die of rabies can apparently appear to have suffered a heart attack, which would make them prime candidates for organ donation.
