I've been an organ donor since my 18th birthday. I read an article in an old Reader's Digest, which had a card. I had my two best friends sign it with me in study hall the day I turned 18. That will be fifty years ago in February.

I was on the bone marrow list until I aged out at 62. I'd always hoped I'd match someone, but never did.

My late father and brother were both able to donate after their deaths, and I know they'd be happy to know people had better lives due to our sad losses.

People with hearts do these sorts of things. People who are selfish, ignorant MAGA fools don't. They hate science and love their perverted religion. That's why we're better than they are.

You are the one who decides if you are an organ donor - not your family. Ms. Toad Sep 17 #2

If the person has a chronic condition, they won't be a donor. Especially if due to something communicable. eppur_se_muova Sep 17 #3
