right now it's 10:26pm and i'm thinking about becoming an organ don

i just finished watching Extreme Home Makeover and on the show was a family with a little boy who had a heart transplant when he was only 10 months old. he is alive today because someone donated their heart.

it's sort of weird to think about. it's like saying when i die i want to give parts of body to people who need them. it's almost like a no brainer. if you are dead why would you want to keep them anyways? but i guess a lot of people don't think about it because they don't think they are going to die anytime soon. they don't know. all you know is that by saying that you want your organs to go to someone who needs them when you no longer need them, today, then someday, someday in the future, it could be YEARS or DECADES from now someone's life will be saved.

i would ask my mom or dad about it now but i'm the only one awake and my dad's not home yet. i am the only one who watched the show though. i will figure out a way to bring it up. if i remember. i'm sure i will. because if i forgot then i wouldn't be saving someone's life.

the only thing that is sad about the whole organ donor thing is that i will never know who my organ goes to. i won't get to see them live out their life because i just said "yes i'll become an organ donor". isn't that all there is to it? maybe a few papers but other than that your life isn't affected at all by becoming a donor. i don't think. i'm not really sure. maybe i'm completely wrong and that's why not everyone is an organ donor. but if i'm correct why wouldn't you become one.

i guess you can take this as me stating that when i die please give my organ to someone who needs it. they will need it more than i do at that time.
