I think Y&R did a fantastic job presenting the need for organ donation.

Once you're dead, your body is not you anymore. I see no reason why everyone shouldn't be organ donors. Even old folks like me have something that can be used, usually.

Each of us should seriously consider organ donation. Once you're dead, you have no need for any of the shell that's left, and it might help someone else to live a long and fulfilling life.

I think that this was a very touching and realistic storyline and something that most people in this situation has a hard time to deal with.

For our own selfish reasons our minds and hearts tells us no but when you think of someone else that can have a life with what another can give then I think that this is what pleases God and can send many blessings to both families.

The Givers and the Receivers......

Absolutely wonderful writing…… Particularly on this storyline...
