@magsbrad Along with DNR orders, which should be on file in your hospital [at least in my state they strongly encourage it!], if someone has decided to be an organ/tissue donor, they are registered with DMV and have it notated on their license. It can be a time of high emotions when a loved one is at the end of life. Having plans in place, making sure everyone knows, goes a long way to easing difficult conversations. My husband has told me his thoughts many times, but I had to really encourage him to document all of those thoughts in order for it to be "official".

I agree. It's one thing to prepare for your last wishes, but the job isn't done unless you have what diplomats call a "frank and candid" conversation with your spouses, partners and children to be sure that they (1) understand your wishes and (2) agree to carry them out.
