I was just wondering. Do they have a list of whats needed, or do they just take them all and decide later if they can be used?

you can list what organs you are willing to donate.
other then that they take the condition of the organs into factor the size and the availability of a recipient all into consideration as well the cause of your death and state of health prior to death all factor in . also what medications or illegal drugs you might have in your system

they take anything and everything that is healthy..there is such a need for organs..there is no question that they need them...but just because you have stated that you are an organ donor on your drivers license or in health paperwork..that does not mean that you will get to be a donor once you have passed..it is the decision of your family,so if you really want to be an organ donor..make sure your family understands why and how much you care about it

It depends on how the person dies! If the person was killed in a car accident they would harvest all organs that would still remain use full i.e not damaged in the accident. However if a person dies from a disease say cancer. They would run test on all organs that they think might remain usable.
Hope this helps answer your question.
