I am not a selfish person (well, sometimes). But it creeps me out thinking of someone else having my body parts. I just can't get over it.
If I needed someone elses “part”, I couldn't do it. A kidney from my brother or sister, yes, because they are my siblings and I would LOVE to have them with me always. But from a stranger I don't believe I could.
No problem, NoGrayZone. Donating organs is a personal and private matter. There is no need to call someone selfish if they don’t choose to do it. Personally, I would like to be buried and the Mass only be attended by my immediate family. Then, I would love for a huge/fun filled “memorial” service for other family and friends. No tears... just stories, good food, some drinks available of every kind... and in honor of my life... tons of cheesecake. I figure that I will be partying in heaven with all my friends and relatives who left before me. The folks I leave should do the same on earth.
