Swiss toni, glad to see this being promoted .It is an altruistic gift we can all consider free of charge. You also must remember to tell your next-of-kin your wishes. (I am an organ donor and transplant link nurse) it is really important too.

I think this is an appropriate place to ask you all to give blood!

That's so true, sorry for leaving that out, I honestly had assumed that family had already been told first and just totally overlooked it. Thanks for pointing that out.
