Re: [QUAD-L] Its That Time of the Season- Organ Donations

[wheelchair]

You are right John.  But you get the geist of my campaign.  Think and think again. If you don't think, you could become another organ donor.  Someone has to stop this crazy madness of stupity.  If we don't.... who will?

I do think that helmetless motorcycle riders, base jumpers and hang glider pilots, should all be considered automatically donors but lawyers would never allow that. They have people trained to request organ donations from grievng families but thay actually only get to less than a third of the people they should be askng around the Cincinnati area. I have a sister that works with kidney transplants and she was telling me how nobody could reach those"professionals" from December thru the end of January. I agree they deserve vacations, but thats a busy time of year for car wrecks and gun shots. I'm sure theyd get more donations if they were more active about asking.   john
