Hard Questions
The physical testing wasn’t the hardest part at all. In fact, Barry said the emotional process of the whole thing was the hardest part. He and Samantha had a compulsory meeting with the Human Tissue Authority. They were the regulator that ensures organs and other human tissue are removed for the right reasons. Discussing the reasons Barry wanted to donate was easy enough, but the hardest part was when he and Samantha were brought into the room together and Samantha was asked how she’d feel if Barry passed away during the operation. Barry said that seeing her so concerned and upset made him very sad. He didn’t want her to think or feel as if it was her fault if anything bad would happen to him.
