I wrestled with the decision to become an organ donor. I'm not sure I can explain why I didn't feel right about becoming one sooner than I did. I've since signed up and I feel good about the decision. I guess the turning point for me was when one of my friends died in a car accident and she was a donor. Because of her death four people got the organs they needed to live. Her heart, lungs, liver and pancreas were donated. I still mourn her death because she was so young and we were so close, but it makes me happy to think that, though she died tragically and needlessly, her decision saved four peoples lives.
