I am so, so sorry for your loss -- I wish that you could have had more time.
You're doing something amazing in his memory, and I respect the hell out of you for it.
Kira and I have had to regretfully remove ourselves as organ donors (our faulty collagen means that the organs might harm the recipient), but we have living wills that state that we want to donate our bodies to science, particularly any researchers who work on connective-tissue genetic defects. While I wish that we could give the gift of a life, we can at least choose to try to be unselfish with our deaths, and hopefully help others in that way.
I strongly support organ donation, and I am glad you are speaking up about it -- too few people do.
