Blood is that fragile scarlet tree we carry within us.
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.
You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
i'm sure i'm worth a lot more dead than alive
It gave me a second chance. I'd like everybody to have a second chance if they need it, so I'm trying to let people know how important it is to become an organ donor.
...if more people had been organ donors, unwinding never would have happened...but people like to keep what's theirs, even after they're dead.
On my license, it says I'm an organ donor, but the truth is I'd consider being an organ martyr. I'm sure I'm worth a lot more dead than alive - the sum of the parts equal more than the whole. I wonder who might wind up walking around with my liver, my lungs, even my eyeballs. I wonder what poor asshole would get stuck with whatever it is in me that passes for a heart.
It is important to note that there are no age limitations on who can donate organs and tissue. Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ donors.
I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.
Write a living will. And become an organ donor!
I hope more people decide to become organ donors.
In America ... the seven ages of man have become preschooler, Pepsi generation, baby boomer, mid-lifer, empty-nester, senior citizen, and organ donor.

I think you have a lot to offer... not necessarily as a person, but as an organ donor.
