I was kidding about being killed over the heart on my DL. I know that my family has had to make that exact decision several times recently. It hasn't been an issue but I can see how people grieving aren't in the best decision making mode. Ive had this discussion with all of my immediate family and most of my distant family. We have about 50/50 of both in our family. We also have several senile older members that don't want to go to the afterlife without a kidney.

This is the key to help family at a bad time of loosing a love one.

As a person that is in need of a heart and go to a heart transplant center once a month and see others that are in need, all my family are donators now. To see people before and after getting a heart transplant, is a sight to see.

That's awesome that you've talked to your family about it. I think that is a major part is people don't want to talk about it. I can understand a will or a funeral because both of those can really hit a person and make them realize they are on the downward slope. But an organ donation is something you can decide when you are 16 and be done with it.
