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.

My father is a Lions' Club member (their humanitarian work mostly revolves around schools for the blind/visually impaired and sight restoration) and I got a chance to hear a guest speaker talk on this very subject. Fascinating. There is a fairly brief time window on this, but I don't think it's longer than for major organs.
