Organ Donation Is Important, Y'all.

RecycleMe.org

And here's why. Mirtala Garcia's husband died of a brain hemorrhage at age 38. She decided to donate his organs and amazingly, it meant eight people desperately needing transplants could live. I urge you to read Mirtala's story. It's touching and makes you think: What do you want to happen to your organs when you no longer need them? 

It's worth thinking about. You might decide to donate, you might not, but at the very least, you should make the decision, because when your time does come to kick the bucket (and I hope it's no time soon), you won't be the one talking to the docs when they want someone to make a call – your loved ones will. So if you want them to respect your wishes, talk it over with them. Like now.
