  • I am a LIVE LIVER DONOR...donated a piece of my liver to my father on December 29th 2010 at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington Ma. Education is key! If there was more education out there about being a LIVE LIVER DONOR, Laura would not have had to go through this. My deepest of sympathy to you and your family.

  • Thanks for reaching out. I am a survivor. This is what I do to honor my donor's legacy. See. Organ donation Serge Vaillancourt, right here on YouTube. Wishing you long healthy, prosperous lives.

  • It went great! i know this has planted a seed in their minds and hopefully they will give more thought about organ donation. :)

  • This is such a sad sad story!!

    Sorry about your dad!! My dad  is been diagnosed with the same disease:(((((the worst thing we'r going through...

  • oh ok

  • You have to have a matching blood type to even be considered for the living-donor option.

  • Why didn`t you give your liver?
