Their son is alive the soul of the person is in the heart. The donor is a host. She will start with time exhibiting his character traits at the least, at most he will take control of her. I will never be a recipient but wont mind donation my heart so I can possess another person preferably a hot young chick then this one. Most people fear death but they should fear and wish to know first who they are allowing into their bodies.

[@MUKESHRAJ-uk8jh]

If u feel blessed ,Please donate organs !!

[@lajoswinkler]

@@vinportobg Please don't spread crazy myths like these. The heart is a muscle pump. Character is contained primarily in neocortex but it's safe to say central nervous system, although there's some action from the peripheral system of the gut that has some effect on how we feel and behave since there is a lot of "wiring" down there. You made a horrible comment about people posessing the hosts and you should be ashamed. If you can't tell something smart or nice, shut the fuck up instead of spreading hurtful lies.

Chris was an organ donor and gave the gift of life to a 3 week old little boy up in the northeastern part of the United States on what would have been our 27th wedding anniversary.

As a heart failure patient near the end stage, I can tell you with tears in my eyes how special the donor and his parents are. Selfless, to make that donor decision while going through their grief.

I’d like to add to the donation story. If the death doesn’t allow for organ donation, you may still be able to donate tissue. It’s not as well known but is equally important. My brother’s death was from a form of stroke. His organs were shutting down. There would be no recovery. He was an organ donor, but because they were shutting down could not be used. The hospital asked about tissue donation. We were unaware of this option, but we decided it was inline with his wishes. We gave permission. We don’t know the recipients but there were quite a few. I’m proud to be the sister of such a wonderful young man.

After watching this .... I'm going to go donate a kidney ... for someone at Westchester Medical Center in NY. This was so heart gripping ... so moving. I both hate and love these acts that make me cry from the deepest depths of my soul. They're at the back of the pack in terms of organ donations, and I used to always be in the back of the pack in growing up, in school, in the love life and even in friendships. IT SUCKS being at the back, and no matter what I did or tried, I kept getting shooed to side. At least now, with this goal of mine, I could feel at peace with being at the back of the pack. And suddenly, everything seems a whole bunch different now. Anyway, it will be some time before I can share the experience of donating an organ, but once a mind is firmly made up ... that's it. RIP Rob and God Bless these 2 for letting a part of their son sustain the life another. Rob never really left ... He just ... He had a change in position. So, WMC ... Contact me if you would like.
