Because I'm blind, I obviously don't have a drivers license. But on my state of Missouri I D card, it says that I can be an organ donor. When I got it, the lady asked me if I wanted to be an organ donor and I said yes.
Blessings,

Quite a story - in particular that his piano teacher donated a kidney to
him - what a wonderful act of compassion! I have met quite a few people
who have donated kidneys to others over the years - they are remarkable
people and I always thank them for their decision. They were all very pleased
with their decision.
And here come's the question. Most people have space on the back of
their driver's license to indicate that they are willing to donate their
organs upon death. Since blind folks don't have driver's licenses, does the
stat ID provide the capability to indicate willingness to donate?
And my next question is - are your IDs signed?

A blind man named Scott Mcintyre reached the top ten in American Idol.
After graduating from college he was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure
and underwent dialysis.
The wife of his piano teacher donated a kidney which saved Scott's life.
He wrote a book titled By faith not by Sight. Of course the news media
portrayed him as being inspirational but this is a blind person who actually
accomplished something.
Cordially,
Jim Moynihan
