Very thoughtful and brave decision at such a sad time.
 
Words don't do that type of thing Justice ! A lovely & caring thing to do !
 
I was astonished (we saw it earlier) but extremely pleased.

Nice to think after losing them, that even though you were not given the opportunity to love them conventionally yourself, your lost child has been able to give others the gift of life and will always be remembered with affection by others too.

Think the parents (and any other parents losing any other child at whatever age or stage) are truly awesome. (in the true sense of that word)
 
In fact, policy only changed fairly recently. Previously, ethics committees prevented transplant teams asking families of babies, and forcing offers of donations from families facing the death of their baby to be turned down. Takes a lot of generosity from family and sensitivity from medical teams.
 
How sad. Very brave people.:(
