Perhaps I think too much...

Here in Australia, if a family member isn't aware that someone had chosen to donate their organs, the family have the final say about whether it happens or not. Even if the individual had signed up to the Organ Donor Registry... Everyone in my family is 1000000% aware of my desire to give someone else a chance at a healthier life if something should happen to me, and I wish more families would have these conversations. It's much easier to talk about it without emotion at home now than in a small room beside an emergency ward at a hospital in the middle of the night...
All the best Doug - I hope everything works out for you.
