My 25 year old cousin was killed in a car accident about a week ago and they donated his organs. His niece on his moms side (not the side I am blood related to) had a transplant when she was just a baby and she is now 10. It sure can change lives.

LOL By the way, I'm donating organs too! I feel the same way. I read a poem one time that made my decision to donate! I can't remember all of it, but the part that impressed me so was about someone opening their eyes for the first time to see color. Can you imagine being able to give that gift???? Anyway I'm hoping to donate lots of skin!!!!!!!(before I move on!) Can you really do that????? Does anybody know??? Oh yeah, and we're going to be skinny loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg before we get to heaven!! ) Love ya, Rosemary Organ Donation... > > > > > > > Hi. > > > I was wondering about how to go about making sure that I am able > to > > > donate organs in the event the something happens to me during > surgery > > > or as a complication of surgery.
