Two families are suing an Indiana organ donor group for medical malpractice.
They claim their loved-ones died after receiving transplants from a cancer patient.
Anthony Taylor, 45, of South Bend died in 2007, nine months after receiving a kidney and liver transplant. Another man also died after receiving a kidney from the same woman.
The donor had skin cancer that spread to her liver and her kidneys.
The families claim the Indiana organ procurement group did not properly screen the donated organs, but the organ group says their screenings meet state and federal regulations.
