I only just found out!

Ok, so time for me to come out and admit... I haven't registered before. I think organ donation is a wonderful, fantastic, amazing thing, and a gift to another human. I just haven't registered.

I'll admit that my fear is that ... in the event that I was in a situation where they may or may not live, and someone else needed an organ, that maybe they wouldn't try so hard to save. Or maybe instead of trying different things they'd just push for the organs. Because they have to take them before you officially die don't they?
Ok, look, I didn't say my reason was justified. And I'm not that well-read on the details.

I've been thinking about it but never got around to doing it. But did you know that only about 15% of the population are registered?!?!?! Isn't that terrible. I feel terrible, since I'm only just registering now, and I hope that more people register.

But I'm going to register now. Because it's so easy!
And because if something were to happen to Shel or Jazz, I would accept a donated organ to save their life. But to do that, people actually have to donate. And I'd feel like a hypocrit to say "Yes I'll accept donated organs to save mine or a loved ones life, but I'm not donating to save someone else's partner or child or parent..."
