Maybe she was thinking of a religious context? There used to be a misunderstanding that Cahtolics can't donate organs. It's my understanding that most Hispanic folks are Catholic (not meaning to stereotype here) and it may be that her particular churchmen are still teaching anti-transplant?

Yes, it's about organ donation.
A Puerto Rican coworker of mine, a long while back said Hispanics don't donate organs.
Is this generally true? Or is she steorotyping her own culture?
