I knew that the organ transplants of major organs required killing a patient and that it was morally wrong. But, I assumed that by not placing 'organ donor' on my license that I would be all set. I've never done a living will ... perhaps we should all do living wills with these specifics in place??? What about for our children, too? Will these cards that you have there, if signed and notorized, be sufficient? -Jennifer Ave Maria!

Fra. Roderic,

I had NO idea about this kind of stuff. I knew that the organ transplants of major organs required killing a patient and that it was morally wrong. But, I assumed that by not placing ‘organ donor’ on my license that I would be all set. I’ve never done a living will … perhaps we should all do living wills with these specifics in place??? What about for our children, too? Will these cards that you have there, if signed and notorized, be sufficient?
