Well done story. The final two sentences show the importance of this activity. When I was 36, 13 years ago, I asked that my remains be donated in some form - whether through organ donation or for study. This article reinforces how I can accomplish my intentions, and to have a direct conversation with my executor on the topic. As someone who has benefited from the advances in medicine, I am always appreciative of those who went before me. Their treatment - in whatever form - lead to my recovery. I hope to continue the gift.
