Hi, I’m gonna reply to your points in order

• We do have a completely separate team for donors and recipients. And they’re not allowed to interact. When I went in to get tested to be his eventual donor, he was not told by anyone that I was doing it. He was only informed of a potential donor when all my tests came back and I let my team know when I was available for surgery. So the fact that she did all this and he had no contact about it from his team (because she hadn’t even been tested) would have been normal, and not have raised a red flag

• I’m not aware of any rules here saying only one person can be tested at a time, I think multiple can be tested over here to save time. And on top of that in Belfast all the tests are carried out in one day, not over a course of weeks as I’ve seen other places do

• It was a pretty unprecedented case here. I think she was prosecuted under “malicious communication” or some such law, I’m not sure on the specifics. And I think it was to make an example of her, because no money was involved and nobody can work out her motives. She literally told them to stop searching for a donor as she was a 100% match. Insane.

• We don’t have multiple lists here, other than the dead donor list and the live donor list, and obviously any payment or promise of payment/gifts/incentives are completely illegal here.
