More about LifeSharers

Thursday, April 03, 2008 at 08:08 AMLifeSharers is a better way to donate your organs. It's free. It could save your life. LifeSharers helps you donate your organs to other organ donors.
By joining LifeSharers, you will accomplish three things:
- You will increase your chances of getting an organ transplant should you ever need one. As a member, you will get preferred access to the organs of other LifeSharers members.
- You will help reduce the deadly organ shortage. Offering your organs first to other organ donors creates an incentive for non-donors to become donors.
- You will help make the transplant system fairer. About half of the organs transplanted in the United States go to people who have not agreed to donate their own organs when they die.
Everyone is welcome to join LifeSharers. There's no age limit, and parents can enroll their minor children. No one is excluded due to any pre-existing medical condition.
Please join LifeSharers. It's free.
It could save your life.

Thanks so much for your post. This seems like an interesting and well worthy organization.
Anyone have additional thoughts on organ transplant or want to speak of a scenario of their own? If so place you comments here - we'd like to hear them.
