Interesting side note as another aspect of dealing with our disease.
I had to renew my driver's license this year and I also took myself off the organ doner list. The man doing the renewal told me that many cancer as well as patients with other diseases do the same. Mainly since I have had some major mets to deal with.

Jojo -
I can't believe that the company you are referring to actually GETS all the bodies that are being donated. I think there is a national bank of information and often only the organ needed gets transported. I know in the case of a heart they have a very limited time to get it to whoever will be having it put in.
Not something we want to think and know more about in any given day, but a good point was raised.
