Record numbers of patients are waiting for organ donations while families not only opt out of organ donation, but sometimes over-ride the expressed wishes of their deceased family member.
Willingness to donate one's organs after death always seems to me to be one last act of empathy & compassion we can enact... so might the resistance to posthumous organ donation reveal something more widely about (real) social levels of empathy & compassion?

#NationalAssociationOfBlackJournalists isn’t inviting Trump 2 its annual convention in #Cleveland this yr, org has announced. Exclusion of the prez follows controversial appearance by then-candidate #Trump @ the event last yr, as well as a perceived snub against then-VP #KamalaHarris. The decision not 2 invite Trump also comes as his policies against #diversity, #equity & #inclusion actively harm Black journalists across country
Just learned about this development through Safe Streets Petaluma. California needs to follow suit!
The Washington state legislation "gives cities the legal authority to create Shared Streets, defined by two key principles:
- A speed limit of 10 mph, and
- Pedestrians have the legal right to occupy the entire street."

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •like everything I think social media misinformation plays a role too, there's a myth going round that I've tried to challenge with a few people, that if you're a donor they don't try as hard to save you so they can harvest your organs.
I've got something autoimmune going on so they don't want most of me, but I'm registered for my corneas. Ideally I'd like someone to take my reproductive organs too and slap JK Rowling around the face with them, as she seems so interested in them.
