Its so horrible that the English language doesnt have a word for it.Chris Gregory, a nineteen-year-old Freshman at Loyola University New Orleans, had a girlfriend. He was rushing a fraternity and although he had had a rough first semester, he told his parents he was certain he was finally getting this college thing right.One night during a casual after-dinner conversation about drivers licenses, Chriss parents learned that he had opted to become an organ donor. What am I going to do with my organs after Im dead? And besides, he added with a grin, who wouldnt want this body?Lifes funny. One day, some kid is a happy-go-lucky college freshman, healthy as a horse, and another guy is standing at deaths door. And then in a matter of hours, they somehow trade places.Chris collapsed and died of an aneurysm with no warning. Five people who had been near death lived to see another day because they received Chriss organs. Eric Gregory, his father, wrote this book to chronicle this miracle of science and how meeting these recipients of his sons organs filled a special need in their hearts that few outside the organ donation community can understand.
