Yes, I am an organ donor.
Also my hubby got a new kidney and pancreas transplant in 1990 and no longer a diabetic. Both of his kidneys failed in 1989 and was on home dialysis for 1 year before he got his new organs and also worked a full time job during that time.
He is doing great now and no longer a diabetic.

I have. I personally don't care what they do with my carcass when I'm done with it - but if I can help another person in any way, I want to. It would be my last Act of Kindness.
If you haven't signed up, please think about it, and talk with your family members about it for themselves too.
