Thanks for pointing this out !
 
We had a quite interesting discussion on this in the Spanish GNU
Health mailing some months ago.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/health-es/2014-08/msg00112.html

From this thread we came to the conclusion that the best way to
start is with a generic module with the common functionality for
transplantable tissues / organs, and from there create specifics for
each of them.

Let us know your thoughts.

Best,
Luis
