My husband and I are both organ donors. We were before CF entered our lives, but having our daughter diagnosed just confirmed that as being the right choice for us.

I am an organ donor (how could I ask for someone elses when I won't share mine.... My opinion though) but I know a lot of people who aren't. My mom, for instance, isn't a donor. She may change it soon... but it's just something that never "spoke" to her until she was directly affected. A friend of the family died a few years ago and she wasn't a donor (she was 17) because it felt wrong to her. She had complications with a surgery and beforehand made her wishes clear about everything to her parents. The doctors ended up taking her eyes anyway and their still trying to legally sort this one out.
Anyway, all that being said, even though I'm waiting for lungs, I understand why people wouldn't want to donate. Maybe that's because of what happened to that young girl's family though...

I am an organ donor and my sister was too until.....
she moved to IL and got her new driver's license and checked YES to organ donation. She got a letter in the mail stating basically "since you marked yes, we no longer need your family's consent to donate your ograns." So she called and told them to take her off the list.
Is that normal to not need the family's consent? I guess there are some parts of her she doesn't want donated (corneas). But I thought they would always ask the family which parts were ok to use?! Is this not true?
Can anyone fill me in.
Thanks,
Kelli
ps. I didn't read all the above posts so I hope you didn't cover this already.
