The Friday Focus #3: Organ Donors, Murder, and the Paradoxes of Democracy
Bear Smith
October 11, 2024
Hey friends,
Happy Friday!
Here’s everything else I wanted to share this week to start your weekend right:
Last hours of an organ donor (17 minutes): A beautiful perspective on life, death, and organ donation from an anesthesiologist who has assisted in the harvesting of organs from donors. How do you balance the dignity of the deceased with the race against time to save lives?
Ground Control to Mr. Meline (26 minutes): A teacher. An astronaut. A son. A murder. A reform. This piece touched me, from hearing the story of an incredible teacher, to reading about a community cut through by tragedy and how they heal. A tragic, yet beautiful story.
But wait, there’s more!
