And so people may be a little less, you know, a little averse to actually authorizing for their loved one to be a donor. And then I think there's just, those are primarily the reasons that we hear. I would say again, that just because donation is such a nuanced process, organ procurement organizations are the ones who manage that process.

And they'll be work with our hospitals and partner with our hospitals, DMV transplant centers. It's such a unique niche industry that is oftentimes just not very well understood. Susan, I don't know if you'd like to add anything to that.

I will just add to that too. That's a question we oftentimes get in the communities that we are engaging with about living donation. And as Susan mentioned, we do not manage that process. That's the transplant centers that do that. But it is a way, I think, of engaging people in the conversation about donation.

If there is an opportunity that someone might have to be a living donor to a loved one or a friend, um, it's, it's a, it's, it's a good way to open the door to having, having that dialogue.

Generally, I'm not aware of that. The cultural component often comes into play, as I mentioned earlier, if people want the body to be whole. If tissue donation comes into play too, there's maybe a little bit more concern around that. But That is not something that I'm aware of. Susan, I don't know if you've, in the 20 years you've been with LifeSource, if you've run into that at all.

Yeah, I certainly echo that, Sharon. Your synopsis of your experience with your aunt and LifeSource is really one of the reasons why... It's so important that people understand the beauty of the work that we do and the gift that people are able to give in saving other people's lives by registering to donate, to be an organ donor.

Our donation liaisons, I just want to give them a shout out, are amazing at what they do. the number of things that they navigate with families and our hospital partners is top notch. And so I'm so happy to hear, Sheridan, that you had that experience with our team members and that your aunt was able to give the gift of life. So thank you.
