Please consider and talk it over with your family the
live saving gift of life. Organ donation can mean the difference between life and death for so many on the waiting list. I was most fortunate enough to have a life saving lung transplant in 1998 and I shall ever be grateful to the family of my donor who I most probably will never meet.

I recently lost a family member who had signed up to donate his body to science. The people handling the situation were very respectful and treated our family member with the utmost dignity. I have the same opinion that once you have passed your organs are no good to you, but you could save another life which is a great human act. Our family member's funeral was paid for and you can research and find that some medical universities will do this for you, thus relieving a great deal of stress for the family.
