Directions For The Disposition Of My Vital Organs

Being of sound mind and body, I, Lloyd Robert Cohen, do hereby declare that in the event of my death I refuse permission for any of my major organs (i.e., kidneys, heart, liver, lungs or pancreas) to be harvested from my body until and unless at least one of the two following conditions is satisfied:

1.      that the harvested organ be designated for transplantation into my direct descendent, wife, mother, aunt, first cousin or any of their descendents or,

2.      that all costs attendant to the preservation of my body and the harvesting           of my organs be paid by a third party and:

a.   that the sum of at least eight-hundred sixty four dollars and twenty-seven cents ($864.27) be paid to my estate in exchange for each organ, or,

b.   that the harvested organs be designated for transplantation into a member in good-standing of the Lifesharers list entitled to receive the organ.

Should any member of my family, in contravention to the wishes expressed in this document, permit transplantation of any of my major organs, the amount that they would otherwise inherit from my estate by devise or intestacy shall be reduced by fifty-thousand dollars ($50,000).
