Officer’s family donates his organsBy Lai Hsiao-tung and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe family of rookie police officer Yang Ting-hao (楊庭豪), who died after being severely injured in a traffic accident on Sunday, has donated his organs and corneas, family members told a news conference yesterday at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital in New Taipei City’s Banciao District (板橋). His family said that they believe Yang would have wanted his organs to benefit others. Such an amendment would provide justice for Yang and provide legal protection for parents of accident victims, she said. Last year there were 62 traffic accidents in which children or adolescents aged 13 to 17 were killed, the lawmaker said. A “certain group” of juvenile delinquents should be targeted in the move to strengthen the law, she said, without elaborating.
