Tonight I Watched A Television Show Called Three Rivers. I Watched It For The First Time And I Was Really Touched.
Tonight's Episode Starred A Very Brilliant Actor, Mandy Patinkin. He Was Dying From Lou Gerig Disease.
Life As He Knew It For All His Years Were Behind Him. His Future Would Include Life On A Respirator. He Would Soon Weaken And Eventually Won't Be Able To Swallow. He Made A Decision To Die Then Donate His Organs So Others Can Have A Second Chance At Living.
To Be Quite Honest About It I Have Never Been Directly Involved In An Organ Donation. It Must Be A Humbling Experience To Be On The Receiving End Of A Life Changing Donation Such As A Human Organ.
I Look At It This Way. A Book. It's A Book With Words And Content And Meaning. Tear Out It's Pages And It's No Longer A Book.
The Human Body With All It's Glorious Wonders and Beauty Can Shine Through A Lifetime Of Love And Laughter Until Death Comes Knocking On Their Door.
I Am A Registered Organ Donor. I Hope Whenever My Time Comes There Will Be Something Salvageable For Someone Else's Needs.
If You Haven't Considered Donating Your Organs I Would Hope You Would Research It And Make The Right Decision And Save A Life. Your Organs Will Be Of No Use To You So Why Not Give The Gift Of Life?
Thank You Mandy For Your Great Performance!
I watched the program also and was touched not only by the actor who gave a believable portrayal but also the daughter, and the different options of the hospital because actually it was an assisted suicide.
