I don't think that this is one of those times. You asking the question -- what will you *do* with this part of my body -- is very valid, even if he may respond initially to the implicit judgment. Not because you have some new purview over his behavior, but because *you* are at risk of harm or death as a result of the donation. <BR/><BR/>And even though you feel your familial relationship means you should do this, remember that that needs acknowledgment, too.Joy | Love | Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976555367096513196noreply@blogger.com
