Default Organ Donation?

In my psych class we were discussing organ donations, which got me thinking. If a child is born with damaged corneas, that is God's plan to make him/her blind. Does it go against God's divine plan to give the child new corneas to see? In the US there is around 40,000 cornea replacements that occur per year. It just seems to me that it goes against God's divine wish. Is it a "miracle" that we know how to replace corneas. The first cornea transplant happened over a century ago. Input please.

I wouldn't get too hung up on trying to plot out "God's plan", or try to imagine you can know "God's mind". God is infinite, as is his mind & his plan. We are finite. Our minds are finite, meaning there are boundaries beyond which our minds very simply cannot go. Not so with God.
Is it a "miracle" that we have the medical technology to perform transplants, & extend & better the lives of people who would have been beyond medical help 100 years ago? Maybe you should ask the parents of that little infant who just received those new corneas, or kidney, or heart, or whatever.
I believe it was Einstein who said (and I paraphrase), "you can look @ the world in 2 ways: As if everything is a miracle, or as if nothing is."
