Please consider becoming an organ donor. Are you going to use your organs when you're dead? If you're thinking about that answer, let me enlighten you - NO, you're not going to use them. Someone else could, though. I am a registered donor and I have notified my husband and parents that this is my intention. If you are a donor and your family does not consent, the doctors CANNOT take your organs. So, please tell your family your wishes and make sure they know that you want them to give consent after your death.
My very good friend and colleague is not at work right now because her 4-year-old son received the gift of life. He received a liver transplant on 4-12-2005. He has had a few bumps in the road to recovery, and will always have a harder time in life than other children, but this is a chance he never would have had without the beautiful gift that someone else thought to give away during their time of grief and sorrow.
I also encourage you to donate your time and money to organ donation foundations across the country.
