Heartbeat

one strong heartbeat that pumps and carries oxygen gives life; when it stops






















*Its a controversial subject. However when one heart stops another can live through organ donation.

Its amazing that when your time is up you can help someone live. Every one should be an organ doner. Tom

No one would want my heart because I have a hole in the wall between the atria and there is also a tumor in there which causes arrhythmia. I was on the organ donor list until I found out about the problems I have and I told them not to put me back on it(if I were to die in an automobile accident). Your work is a timely subject that can save another's life and give them a chance to live. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
