organ donation
what lifestyle should people have in order to donate to the odf?

Dear Stu
Well, preferably not someone that smokes heavily or drinks a lot - although such people can still donate for instance corneas or bone marrow or skin. One would not use an already sick liver or kidney or heart or lung for a patient - so if you are generally healthy they will be glad to have any person as an organ donor.
