Organ donors are heroes for giving life

When you donate an organ or blood, you give the gift of life. I know this because my mother received a kidney from a cadaver. Before that, she had to be hooked up to a dialysis machine every night. I'm very thankful she got a kidney so she didn't have to be on dialysis and I'm sure she's glad, too.
I think everybody should be an organ donor. People who do are heroes for giving the gift of life.
