Gift of Life Donor Program Reports Great Year
Every year the Holidays bring the Gift of Life Donor program a massive in-surge of “donations”; 2006 is a banner year in every way.
“People all over the Delaware valley have given back in a tremendous way this year” said Gift of Life Chairman Gene Peltrou.
On any given year, the number of organs received at Gift of Life is typically insufficient to meet area demands. This year however, the program believes there will be a surplus of organs. “We may be able to donate some leftovers to the Feed the Children Program after the New Year if things keep up”, said Lydia Seymour, program coordinator.
Lydia further commented, “We are looking forward to expanding our outreach, and possibly partnering with Dr. Kevorkian in a new program ‘Volunteers of the Gift of Life’”.
“To think, we still have New Years to look forward to” said Dr. Nick, the program’s resident physician, “It’s the biggest time of the year for us”. Members of the program refer to Dr. Nick as the “De-organizer”.
Philadelphia police Chief Detmer sees it a different way. “This is a very dangerous group of people who are not licensed doctors, and they keep no records of whom the donor is (was), or where the donations have gone. We are investigating them now, and my recommendation to you is that you steer clear of this establishment”.
The Gift of Life Donor Program is located at 401 North 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123. Area residents have voiced some concern over the odor which seems to originate from the furnace located on the property. Some residents have also questioned whether or not it is appropriate to share a building with a butcher, but otherwise most residents welcome the program into their neighborhood.
The program is now accepting donations, which may be mailed to the Philadelphia office, or you may stop in for a consultation without an appointment.

"Hi, I don't have an appointment but I've been lugging around this extra spleen that I don't really know what to do with. Do you think you guys could use it?"
I have about 15-20 extra pounds I've been carrying around with me lately... think they could use some extra fat instead of extra organs?
Now THAT's what I'm talking about! That's just good stuff! Hey! Is there any way we can get the Gift of Life Donor office to share space with the Social Security Administration Office?
"Emmm, Iz dis da line fors me to gets my checks?"
"Why YES! Mrs. Liver, er . . . I mean Mrs. River, we have your checks for you RIGHT here. And we'll hand them to you as soon as you just sign this consent form. That's right. You'll just feel a little stick in the back of your hand. Thaaaaats right . . . . Niiiiiighty night!"
Ahhhh . . . you're on fire with creativity FB. You should miss work more often!
Um, exactly how long do the organs last? I mean, once disconnected or removed? I mean, ahem!- how long can an organ, let's say from a male, be "used." I mean, if someone, maybe a woman, wanted to purchase it?
What are the chances that the organ could be, um, reloaded if necessary or, ah, requested?
And, I know you're accepting donations, but do you allow purchases? Because something like this could really give a person new life. As long as it lasts.
And, can one choose a size? Or does one have to settle on what one gets? Haha, oops! I meant to say "settle for."
And, is your "organ"ization non-profit? I -- I mean, some people might want to write this kind of thing off.
Quit diddlin with the facts
Your mom diddles.
You love me and you know it!
