Well, I never really thought about it until now either. Haha. Though, it was mostly a choice of apathy, since when I'm dead I won't really care what someone does with them, I only really get to pretend that I will while I'm alive today.

If they're not charging for my organs that get donated, then that's pretty cool. I mean, I was given mine for free, so it only makes sense to give them for free when I'm done with them.

Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so whether they'll find someone who can use my stuff before it goes bad is a whole different thing entirely.

It's good that you were able to find some lungs.
