How do you feel about organ donations?

I posted this one because of something that I saw yesterday at the airport. While dealing with an insanely chipper reservations clerk, I perused the other people at the counter. One guy was a Red Cross worker, and he had four large white boxes with red crosses on them. In large letters, the boxes had written on them: HUMAN BLOOD NO MONEY. That made me a bit squeamish, although I'm not certain why. I've given blood, although not for a while. Then, I noticed the other, smaller box that was causing a bit of consternation. Folks, it was eye tissue and corneas. I know it's necessary, and a good thing. But it gave me the willies like there was no tomorrow. Apparently, it was freaking the clerks out. Where to put it? The blood just went into the hold along with the luggage - the boxes were pretty big, and I don't know that I'd want to fly sitting next to boxes of blood, you know? No one could figure out where to put the box of eye tissue - it was stamped all over fragile, so it couldn't go in with the luggage. But the Red Cross worker wasn't flying with the boxes, so he couldn't hold it. That would be a bit weird, I think, anyway. Can you imagine sitting in your seat, watching the flight attendant talk about safety, and looking over to see the box of eye tissue? It was finally decided to keep the box in the cockpit with the pilots.

All that said, I am a big proponet of organ donation. It's checked on my driver's license, and I've had the requisite conversation with the hubster. It still makes me squeamish to actually see the fruit of it, though.
