[Nfbmo] organ donation

[Debbie Wunder]

Hello, I think it is wonderful for everyone to check that important box. The 
truth of it is, I don't really believe I have any body parts left that are 
worthy of sharing, with acceptation of research. I have said yes to being a 
donor, but I also wonder if they would take that as a yes to bbe a donor for 
research
