Body Organ Donor

Do you think we should become organ donors so that in the case of sudden death we can donate our body parts to others? Suppose this means we may not have our body available for burial? How would this apply to endowed individuals?

Donor Organ Body

This is an interesting issue. I always wanted to be a organ donor, after I find out about the endowment thing I had doubts but I still feel I want to do it. I would like to write a will explaining that.

I really think I wanna do that but I have to ask my husband first to see what he thinks about it.

If they have would someone like to share it with me and please quote where you found it.

But to donate my organs to someone who needed it our they too would die is a very selfless act on anyones part.
