Cool story, mal. I'm on the national bone marrow registry, as is Grace, but neither of us has ever been called up.
I'm an organ donor, which actually came up last month during the first day after my accident. The doctors at one point were talking to Sissy (this was before Grace was making my medical decisions) about whether she knew my wishes for my organs.
Worthiness isn't an issue for me. It's not about what people deserve. People get all sorts of shit heaped on them that they don't deserve. It's about what they need. People die every day because of the shortage of available organs.
I echo the sentiment, I see no reason not to donate.
