i am an organ donor, and have known that i wanted to be one since i was 12.
My mother has 5 brothers and 3 sisters. all of her sisters, and 2 of her brothers have a hereditary kidney disease that ultimately means transplants or dialysis. My mother donated one of her kidneys to her sister, and another sister has had a transplant from a cadaver but still suffers from complications. Another brother has donated a kidney to another brother, and both are doing well. three down, two to go. they are still waiting for transplants.
every one can help another human being in some way. organ donation is the gift of life. i can't find a reason not to be an organ donor. CAN YOU?
haha that sounded so much like an advertisement for organ donation.
but its true. ill do it all: tissue, organs, whatever. (i haven't committed to giving my body to science, but with tn, its probably not far off.)
hope this helps....
