Think of the family who faced the death of their child so that your child could have a 2nd chance at life. If you keep the focus on that which you do not have, you will never feel satisfied or complete, and you will probably view your cup as half empty. On the other hand, if you focus on that which you do have, you may begin to see your cup as even more than half full, and you will come to believe that, yes, it could be worse. Hope will take you from today to tomorrow and to every tomorrow thereafter. Be thankful and please, look at your cup as half full.
Most people share the same misconceptions about organ donation.
But the facts don't change. The decision to sign a donor card will in no way affect the level of medical care a sick or injured person will receive. Most religions support organ donation. Organs are computer matched according to compatibility of donor and recipient blood and tissues, determined by various tests, waiting time, and the medical need of the recipient. Social or financial data are not part of the computer configuration that decides who receives an organ.
