I’ve never pondered the connection between faith and organ donation

I've never pondered the connection between my faith and organ donation. I tend to avoid thinking of my own death, so the question of organ donation comes up only every four years when renewing my driver's license. When I answer yes, a red heart goes on my driver's license. I've chosen to be an organ donor thinking someone might have the chance to live. The thought "what would Jesus do" has never crossed my mind on the subject.
