I read many articles that a South Korean soldier who was seriously injured and brain-dead in the Itaewon disaster gave hope of organ donation.
Armed Forces Soldier A, who visited Itaewon on the 29th of last month, was seriously injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.
However, it did not improve for more than 10 days, and in the end, on the 9th, the attending physician made a brain death decision.
It is said that on the night of the brain death judgment, the family decided to donate organs to reflect his wishes.
Upon hearing the news of the organ donation, President Yun Seok-yeol's wife, Kim Kun-hee, visited the hospital and comforted her family who had made a difficult decision.
Among the other deceased who died in the Itaewon disaster, it is known that there were cases in which the person concerned agreed to donate organs or his family decided to donate organs while he was still alive.
