Organ donation

Apr 30, 2011 23:20

Delurking to post a note urging everyone to consider designating themselves as organ donors--you can indicate it on your license.  A good friend died today while waiting for a lung transplant.  He had been so sick for so long... he was at the top of the list in the Pennsylvania-NJ-Delaware region, yet no lung became available in time for him.

Thank you...I reiterated to my family that if anything ever happens to me, I want to make sure that my organs are donated.

Thanks. Have to keep remembering to change my default pic. His family waited so long for lungs to become available.
