Okay, time for a quick high-school civics refresher. The basis of law in the United States all derives from the U.S. constitution. While the 10th amendment to that constitution does grant the states and the people a lot of latitude, it explicitly places the protections of the rest of the constitution as superior to any laws that might be passed by the states (or any lower level)...
Unfortunately, it didn't start our that way.
Originally, the US Constitution only limited the power of the Federal goverment. Except for a few specific cases, the States were not limited in any way by the US Constitution. Wiki has a good article on this: Incorporation of the Bill of Rights. Further examples of this include US vs Cruikshank and Barran vs Baltimore.
Today, thanks to the use of the 14th Amendment's Due Process clause, the US Supreme court has slowly reined in some of the States' powers. See Justice Hugo Black.
We can still see this process occuring today. Take the DC vs Heller case. The US Supreme Count found that the District of Columbia could not deny 2nd amendment rights to its residents. But, this ruling applies only to DC and not the rest of the nation.
It doesn't matter if you're using a hands-free device or not. Drivers are still talking having conversations on the phone and failing to devote enough attention to driving. Here on Slashdot, I've seen numerous studies and anecdotes about phone conversations taking up more of a person’s attention than a normal person-to-person in-the-same-room (or car) conversation.
All the hands-free law does is force people who are too busy talking on their cell phone to start driving with two hands on the wheel instead of one.
You want to lower the accident rate caused by cell phones? Ban them. Completely.
My guess is that the organ would most likely continue to age at the donor's rate and any "turnover" would be too slow to make any appreciable difference.
I found this article about kidney transplants. From the extract, it basically says the age-matching helps increase the chances of survival for young recipients.

Hmm, I thought the iron content would of been higher for Mars.

Some more numbers...
The GMC Yukon weights 5200 lbs or 2.6 tons, with the 4x4 version tipping the scales at nearly 5600 lbs or 2.8 tons.
Even my Subaru Outback does even come close to this, weighing in at a blistering 3600 lbs.

...non-3rd-world ones that are lower (Canada, Russia, Brazil, etc)...
Don't mean to nitpik, but Brazil is a third world nation.
