I understand what you are saying and I don't think I want extraordinary measures to prolong my life.

But, I do think of the young girl who can now see because of the corneas of a friend of mine who died at a very too young age. Even though he was in perfect health and physical condition the powers that be refused any other organs from him because he was a smoker, even though smoking had nothing to do with his death. He died from a head injury sustained in a fall. He was 37.

God bless your friend. I don't even think of corneas as a "transplant", probably because that has been done for so long. If I had a massive head injury, I would not want to survive-I wouldn't really be "living", but rather "existing".
