It freaked me out the first time I saw asked, though. I used to think that if I had a bad accident and as a consequence was at the threshold of Hades, a nurse would be waiting impatiently outside my ward waiting for me to kick the bucket so that she could colelct the organ selected. Phew, what a relief when I found out that this is not what actually happens.<br /><br />Good and honest post.

We will all hopefully be able to give someone else a very special gift one day.<br /><br />Angela....it's okay. I know a lot of people that don't do needles.

But you are right- the organs are no use to us when we are gone. So, for me, the decision is an easy one.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805950029078882515noreply@blogger.com
