My donor and her family...and a...ll those who have been in this position. There is a lot of debate about opt in and opt out donor systems. This is not the place for such a debate, but what I can say is that I see organ donation as a gift, a choice, an act of selflessness. People should be thanked for that gift, not just 'expected to'. Not only has the donor made that inspirational decision to save someone's life but their family,who are the ones who have to actually live through the process, are a true inspiration. It must be incredibly difficult in those hours of despair and grief to make this decision - a decision to benefit a complete stranger. This act saved my life, and so many of my friends lives. It is not the recipient that is inspirational (we have little choice) but those who make a choice they don't have to, for the good of someone else.
