Madam, - We wish to extend our sympathy to Charlotte Yeates (January 27th). Our first child died in England in 1985. Although we never asked, we feel sure that his organs were removed for research. We hope that some small contribution may have been made to understanding the reasons for his death, and we are happy for this to have been done. - Yours, etc,
SÉAN and NORMA MALONE,
Sandycove,
Co Dublin.
