@gaylea1 My daughter and I are both organ donor listed. I was listed when they first started putting it on driver's license many years ago. Donated organs are gifts and should be accepted as such. No guilt nessessary.

Here is a link about 3-D organ printing. This is going on right now in our own country. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/soon-doctor-print-human-organ-on-demand-180954951/

@mauraacro you never cease to amaze me. I understand what you're saying & completely agree with you. There is a certain amount of serenity in knowing that we can improve other peoples quality of life. We are doubly blessed to be able to do this both alive & upon our death. This brings another definition to life after death.

@rosemarya what a beautiful privilege to be able to donate after being a recipient

@windwalker Thank you so much. I do appreciate that. My daughter & I discuss these kind of things regularly

@windwalker This desire resurfaced about a month ago when I asked my doctor about donating my dead body to science. Which he replied become an organ donor by checking the box on your drivers license. Then I began thinking I would rather give my organs away while I'm living to someone I know. The problem was I didn't know anybody who needed a kidney (at the time the only organ I knew for sure that was commonly donated) so I went to work looking for ways to donate. Now I plan on giving while I'm both alive & when I'm. deceased
