Facebook has added a new, unexpected option amidst its sea of check-ins and relationship statuses. Now, thanks to the social networking web site, Facebookers can become organ donors with only a few clicks of their mice. Found under the "life event" category, the Organ Donor status should have many positive effects. By becoming an organ donor, people not only help save the lives of others with their organs but also spread the word about the benefits of organ donation. This new program is a great way to increase organ donor numbers, and, therefore, decrease the number of people on the organ donation list. I wish everyone would understand that he or she has no use for his or her organs after death and that by donating unused organs, many people can live healthy lives in return.
