0:00.0 | What are your thoughts on organ donation? |
0:06.0 | Knowing God sustains life and death has numbered our days and predestined our life should |
0:12.7 | or should we not donate our organs after we die? |
0:16.4 | That's really a thoughtful question. |
0:18.8 | I don't know. |
0:20.2 | I haven't given this a lot of thought, but I have immediate thoughts. |
