Organ donation

I saw in the news this week that Switzerland has the lowest rate of organ donation in Western Europe. I've always meant to get registered as an organ donor but just never got around to it... until today. I let my mom know that I want to be an organ donor, and I'll be telling my Swiss mom, too, as soon as she's actually reachable!

Here's the website where you can sign up to be an organ donor in Switzerland (info in French, German and English): http://www.swisstransplant.org/l2/

For those of you in the States who are interested in organ donation, here's the government website explaining how to become an organ donor: http://www.organdonor.gov/donor/index.htm
