Best Answer

Carly Patterson is a "very much alive" spokesperson for the Taylor (Storch) Foundation, a foundation promoting organ donation. Taylor is a thirteen year-old who died in a ski accident and whose parents graciously donated her organs and other tissues saving and enhancing many lives a couple of years ago. Carly is signed up to be an organ donor upon her death, if the situation of her death allows her to do so (few deaths do as it requires special circumstance in which organs are still vital but the brain is not). The public service announcement is confusing, however, as it implies that Carly has already helped someone by donating an organ, which would make her either a living donor or already deceased. I am a living kidney donor, and was quite confused by the Public Service announcement. I absolutely believe in organ donation and the need to promote, but I think this particularly ad is misleading and confusing.
