Phil O'Bryan talks with Randa Lipman with the Mid South Transplant Foundation which covers 11 counties in west Tennessee, 6 counties in eastern Arkansas and 19 counties in north Mississippi about the importance of registering as an organ or tissue donor. On average, 20 people die while while waiting for an organ each day with thousands on the waiting list. In addition to talking about registering, we also talk about volunteering, spreading the word, having the conversation and giving. Included in the interview are recipients Natalie Yates and Bobbie Betonti.
