in which context is all

[rm]

Me: Did you hear about Steve Jobs?

Patty: Hasn't his health been fucked up for a while?

Me: [blah, blah, blah...] ... liver transplant.

Patty: Did you know most people who want to be organ donors can't because the organs have to be gotten so quickly?

Me: You know stuff about morbid stuff. Well hey, if they fail at being organ donors, they can donate their bodies to the Ohio State Buckeyes¹.

Patty: You could donate your body to Glee.

Me: A thought I'm sure people have often, in an entirely different context.

And last year the fandom community helped get Deb Mensinger's brother to the East Coast so he could donate part of his liver to her (in the success of the fandom auction debsliverlovers)! It was AWESOME.

I love living donors with every fiber of my being. Living donation is a lot less invasive than it used to be, but it's still major surgery, and it takes a lot of selflessness to take such a big risk with your own health to help someone else.
