Thanx for the advice, I'll play around with it a bit more.

(Giggle) Actually, giving half a liver can be done while alive with 
limited health effects - the thing apparently grows back in a few 
years. 
 
Really, 'partial donor' means someone who cannot (generally for 
medical reasons) donate ANY organ (say because a particular organ is 
known faulty or damaged) but has some organs suitable for donation. On 
the ID card, it is an extra flag to the organ bank to double-check the 
individual's medical records.
