Ethics on Post Crash Parts Usage

[tuxbailey]

So after my accident and the bike being totaled, I stripped the bike and gave away the broken frame to someone for a resurrection project.

I wonder about the ethics of given away other functional parts and whether that is a good idea (liability wise) or should I just throw them away.

For example, brakes, FD, RD, shifters, cassette.

I wouldn't re-purpose the bar, stem as I don't know what kind of impact it suffered.

I wonder what the right thing to do is.
