Sitting at my desk while listening to NPR, I can't help to be distracted by the topic of the hour.

The subject is about a new service that may soon be offered in New York City. This service is for a new ambulance service for organ donation.

Having had a loved one who died in queu while awaiting an organ transplant, it is impossible for me to not have a rather strong emotional response to this radio conversation.

Part of me embraces the concept, but another part of me is filled with deep concern. My over-the-top imagination is quick to dream up scenarios that might play out well in a suspense thriller, but would be a total nightmare in reality.

At any rate the very idea could be fodder for a great fast-paced contemporary book with movie rights!
