And Ella doesn't like rice so she now thinks she can use it as an excuse to continue hating rice.Jaggers Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546842589476757587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601324573917570989.post-8130357776778985272012-07-07T12:51:37.887-07:002012-07-07T12:51:37.887-07:00I am intrigued by the rice comment!

I especially liked the comment about the heart of a man and a woman. <br />Clearly this is an important book, and I hope that it convinces many more people to be organ donors.essi1356https://www.blogger.com/profile/01018051122741180005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601324573917570989.post-51893225004024644252012-07-05T22:23:08.070-07:002012-07-05T22:23:08.070-07:00I don't know what to add.

I too enjoyed the author's unusual voice. I felt like I learned a lot and would be well prepared for a game show on Cadavers. There were so many interesting quotes and information. I really liked it and now have a new reason not to like rice.Fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904984269804330174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601324573917570989.post-63608764541578845942012-07-04T22:29:54.752-07:002012-07-04T22:29:54.752-07:00On a side note I reall also liked her final chapte...On a side note I reall also liked her final chapter. I can't get her thoughts out of my head regarding those who have passed beyond, and what to do with the remains of that loved one:<br /><br />“People who make elaborate requests concerning disposition of their bodies are probably people who have trouble with the concept of not existing.” P.290<br /><br />“’It’s none of their business what happens to them when they die’ he [funeral director Kevin McCabe] said to me. While I wouldn’t go that far, I do understand what he is getting at: that the survivors shouldn’t have to do something they’re uncomfortable with or ethically opposed to.” P.290<br /><br />Now I don't agree with her thoughts that those individuals cease to exist, but I do wonder how family members deal with requests that are truly uncomfortable for them. It really was thought provoking and made me wonder if I truly could follow my parents requests for cremation.Jaggers Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546842589476757587noreply@blogger.com
