Watched a very moving TV show called 'The Ultimate Donation' - focused on hose who require organ transplants & the events surrounding it. Amazing to think that just 202 people donated organs in Australia last year - not many for a population of 20 million. Many of the stories were heartwarming, but most telling was a 38-yr old policeman who had waited years for a heart transplant - by the time it arrived he was so ill that he died in the operating theatre..... tragic.Have resolved to donate any useful organs upon my death (so hopefully not for a while! And that's presuming that some of them are still useful) - as has Lucy. It's not as if you can take them with you....
