2Pennies...it bothers my Mom, too, especially the cremation part. She has a hang-up about the resurrected body thing...thinks I won't have one I guess. I told her that if God made Adam from the dust of the earth, he can surely make me from my own ashes.
I told my husband that if my Mom got really distraught about it to not bend an inch on the organ donation, but that he could let the cremation go...but like LAWGIRL, if they open that casket, I'm going to request permission from God to make a few house calls.
"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world."
Joy, I have told my husband at this point in my life that if I am on life support he had just better not let me get bored (or I'll haunt him!). I told him that someone had better either be reading a book to me or he'd better put a Stephen King novel on cassette for me to listen to. I have said that if none of the above seems to "stimulate" my brain then go ahead and donate me.
...and touching on the other question that was brought up...I know someone who received an organ transplant, he is rather famous about these parts, he used to drink and use drugs but he got a second chance at life due to an organ transplant and he turned his life around. I will just say that he is alive and well thanks to the transplant
