All issues regarding the now living donor aside. The post brings to mind one of the all time great epitaphs in the history of humankind: “THE BODY of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Printer like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out, and stripped of its lettering and gilding lies here, food for worms; Yet the work itself shall not be lost, For it will (as he believed) appear once more, in a new, and more beautiful edition, corrected and amended By The AUTHOR” ― Benjamin Franklin

Thank you for sharing this. It is interesting to note that Franklin’s simple gravestone was prepared in exact accordance with his wishes, however a plaque mounted adjacent contains the mock epitaph, which he wrote as a young man in 1728.
