I am sharing what a friend mailed to me for your consideration. I have
already pledged my organs and my signed papers are with a hospital. Our
children are told about it.
An Article From The ' Cincinnati
Post'
The day will
come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under
four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with
the living and dying.
At a certain
moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that,
for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.
When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine.
When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine.
And don't call
this my death bed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body
be taken from it
to help others
lead fuller lives.
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a woman.
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a woman.
Give my heart to
a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of
pain.
Give my blood to
the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live
to see his
grandchildren play.
Give my kidneys
to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.
Take my bones,
every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a
crippled child
walk.
Explore every corner of my brain.
Explore every corner of my brain.
Take my cells,
if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout
at
the crack of a
bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.
Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.
If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow men.
If by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

One needs to have a lot of courage and a big heart to do such a great sacrifice. It is a very noble deed which not many in our Indian society accept.
My husband and I have also signed in for the organ donation when we took our drivers license, incase some mishap happens and we die in a road accident..
I have decided to donate my eyes...havent thought of any other organs though,
Thanks for the timely reminder.. we were thinking about eye donation couple of years back but all the paperwork put us off.. and then we somehow forgot it.. :(
I will surely work with hubby dear on this.. right away!!

Hope you do not delay it now. I feel what is the use of my organs after I am gone except if it can save someone's life. Take care
