If you are planning on being cremated... organ donation is a wonderful gift

[Peacetrain]

Statistics show more people are now cremated as opposed to full body burial in the US.. If the full 48% or more of us actually donated our organs it would be such a gift to those who could use them to extend their lives.. We are making ashes of the rest of our bodies.. just something to think about.

3. I just said 'Yes" to it on my license. Is there anything else I would

have to do? I also realize that as I get older my organs are of less value. I don't even know, at 64 if there is anything anyone would want.

4. May I add, don't wait til you are dead - give blood now if you can

The country always seems o be short of blood products.

10. I have been treated for ovarian cancer many years ago..

and that is in my medical record..and there is a point of aging out for things like bone marrow.. but if they can use any of my organs for research, or replacement .. they are there for the taking.. because I have already made my arrangements to be cremated.. so the researchers and physicians at the time of my death can make that decision..

9. When I die, I'm donating my organs to science........................fiction.

I'm 75, probably not much use for my organs by the time I croak.
My license has the organ donation symbol on it anyway.
