Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

I don't know.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

I sure hope so.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

I mean, that's my intent.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

I really believe in

organ and tissue donation.

The number I was given at CORE, the Center for Organ Recovery that I visited in Pittsburgh, they said 75 people can benefit from one organ donor's.

It's bone, it's skin, it's tendon, it's muscle, it's an incredible gift.

And the follow-up question would be, so have you signed the documentation, Mary?

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

Have you signed the papers?

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

Right.

And I'm really, I feel terrible.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

I haven't.

Ologies with Alie Ward

It has nothing to do with what I've seen.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

Having seen organs taken from a body and having seen tissue removed, to me, that's just another kind of surgery.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

Surgery is never pretty.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

You know, it's messy and bloody and things are being cut and removed, but it's being done frequently.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

for a really good reason and good things happen.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

So there's absolutely no reason for me not to have signed those papers.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

What if they get you and they don't want you?

Ologies with Alie Ward
Human Technomorphology (SWAPPING OUT BODY PARTS) with Mary Roach

It is.
