I've read it a couple times, and seen it on a couple different news channels. I would know like to know how its going to be any different then what I said.

Go ahead and call it a nice story, like I said, I'm a little cold-hearted. I would still do what I could to help her feel better; but this is still creepy. Still not sure what point you think you're making.

To me, its like adoption, they should NEVER know who it came from unless someone is specifically donating to help a friend or family member to help THAT person. To me that girl needs to let her father go.
I don't want to judge you personally. My belief is that the donor father's family made a deeply personal decision to have the body carved up so that others might live. In my religion we have strict rules against body dismemberment unless it's to save a life.

Pikuach Nefesh we call it.

My point was...oh jeezus why do I fall for this stuff? My point was that this request didn't come out of thin air, that she, 10 years later, asks the guy to walk her down the aisle with no previous connections. They've been in contact. It's nice. There are warm fuzzy feelings between the families. Adriver, you keep referring to yourself as cold-hearted. Your attitude might be unhealthy! I mentioned before that I can be rather cynical. Honey, there are so many sweet internet stories that make me roll my eyes. This is not one of them. Everyone in this story is happy. Why can't you be happy for them?

Sure its a nice story, but I also find it creepy. She did not have him there because they became friends; she had him there because it was a piece of her father walking her down the aisle. (of course I could be wrong, but even if I heard it from her own mouth, I still probably wouldn't believe her. Just my opinion).

Really Cause isn't that exactly what you're doing or you wouldn't have gone there in the first place?? You're also doing it off one single thought that I shared.

Is disagreeing with you judging you?
