My Father who has been Diabetic for 35 years brought us 4 children together along with mom to let us know his intentions. Because the disease has taken so much of his body there is not much left to give an organ donation but, since his body is so full of the disease he has contacted the Joslyn Diabetic Clinic in Boston and is donating his body for research. He has been going to the Clinic since he first got this dreadful disease and he has used many Trial-Drugs and Monitors. He did this all on his own. I am so very proud of him.

I did have one brother who threw a fit and said he had to burry his body and Dads response was "No, you will never see my body again, why not give it to a research company to help someone else not have this dreadful disease that is killing me daily?" I will never forget those words.....

I have also signed the back of my DL - and it is in my living will that all the area hospitals have that I will donate what ever anyone needs to help some one else.

Thank you, AMN - this is such an important issue that everyone needs to understand fully. Thanks for helping people get answers.

I know I didn't answer any questions and probably hijacked the thread but there are other ways to help as Southie stated......
