"Organ donation is an amazing prospect. Every time I think about the medical possibilities and the scientific advances it blows my mind. Isn't it incredible that human beings are able to help each other in this way? I've gone from finding it quite an uncomfortable subject to wanting to celebrate and support it. The act of signing up for such a scheme, the sheer possibility of prolonging someone else's life, is not only an act of human compassion it is a genuine privilege."
