I think she knew along time ago what she wanted to do before her son in law got sick.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've been an organ donor since it started. My husband said he'd not let them do it and it was HIS decision! I told him I'd let them have HIS and it would balance out. We dropped the subject. THERE ARE ONLY TWO POSSIBLE FUTURES FOR THIS PLANET: A NON-NUCLEAR ONE, OR A CANCEROUS ONE Re: Organ Donation I wish more people would donate organs. We have a big shortage.
