Is there a union for that kind of job?

I'm surprised it's only 2%. I've got the "yes" box checked off on the back of my driver's license.

I think People magazine had an interesting article about people who received organ transplants and then ended up liking things that the donee had liked in his/her life (prior to finding out who the donee was and what their likes/dislikes were). Kind of interesting.

Those are always interesting.

I remember why I signed up, we got to see one of the first artificial heart transplant about 12 hours after it transpired in Humana Hospital in Louisville, Ky. As part of a class project, we had to write a report on the future possibility of other artificial organs. I remember the guy's last name was Schroeder and the heart was the Jarvik-7. I had never seen a rib-spreader used before and I was hooked as soon as I saw it implemented.

I turned 18 that year and immediately became a permanent blood donor, organ donor, and marrow list donater.

Organ Donor Myth and Facts from OrganDonor.gov cont...

http://www.organdonor.gov/myths_and_facts.htm

Myth: Marrow donation is painful.

Fact: Marrow donors do not feel pain when the marrow is removed because anesthesia is used. Soreness and/or stiffness may be felt for a week or so post-donation.

I wonder what the public reaction would be of a law that presumes everyone wants to donate their organs (ages 18 and over), and you would have to check off "no" not too.

Hope I never need a transplant,I'd hate to wake up with a strong urge to try on the wife's panties.
