Thanks so much for taking the time to chime in, everyone.<br /><br />I think writing about death and what comes after can be intimidating--you never know if you're going to offend someone or even reopen old wounds. It's fascinating to me because it has both philosophical and real-world aspects to explore.Angelica R.

It does sound like a great thing until someone you know might sort of live in someone else. I'd also wonder whether the organs would go to the same person or if he'd be scattered around the country living inside other people. This sounds like a great story!Tracey Neithercotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539278941411542797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786399562888821503.post-38929687071492647412011-09-14T11:44:09.277-07:002011-09-14T11:44:09.277-07:00I love exploring the idea of what happens to us af...I love exploring the idea of what happens to us after death.
