1. Organ
and Tissue Donation and Transplantation Facts
Having been a successful college athlete and never skipping a
training day over the years, I continued entering road races and attempting to
win my age group each weekend. Unfortunately, when I passed age 50 decades of
running, karate, volleyball, soccer and working out wore out the cartilage in
my knee. I had micro fracture surgery in 2010 to attempt to fix my knee. The
knee improved for a short time, but I was back to the hospital. The fine
doctors at University Orthopedic advised of a new FDA approved procedure and
medical study. I volunteered for this medical study for knee cartilage repair.
The knee doctor inserted a cadaver cartilage piece in left knee. The study was
funded by Zimmer Pharmaceutical. I am now a recipient of an organ donation. I
thank the family of the kind and generous donation of living tissue. I want the
family and public to know their decision to donate has changed my life in a
very positive way.I will never be winning the races again, but I am happy to
run and bike daily. I am now able to run charity 5k races without pain. I urge
friends to sign organ donor card and have a Living Will prepared.
What is National Donate Life Month? Originally a weeklong
observance, it was officially recognized as a month-long event every April. The
celebration commemorates those who have received or continue to wait for
life-saving transplants and honors those who died while waiting.

Who can be a donor?
People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential
donors. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs
and tissue can be donated.
Does my religion support
organ and tissue donation? Every major religion in the United States supports
organ and tissue donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and
generosity.
Is there a cost to be an
organ, eye and tissue donor? There is no cost to the donor's family or estate
for donation. The donor family pays only for medical expenses before death and
costs associated with funeral arrangements.
Does my social and/or
financial status play any part in whether or not I will receive an organ if I
ever need one? No. When you are on the transplant waiting list for a donor organ,
what really counts is the severity of your illness, body size, tissue type,
blood type and other important medical information.
Why should I register to be an organ and tissue
donor? Organ and tissue transplants offer patients a new chance at healthy, productive,
and normal lives and return them to their families, friends and communities. To
learn more or to register to become an organ and tissue donor, visit
www.NJSharingNetwork.org. Also contact your attorney to have a Living Will/
Advance Directive prepared.
2. No home
release or wristlet if mandatory 180 jail.
State v
Harris 439 NJ Super. 150 (App. Div. 2015)
Following the
recent opinion in State v. French, 437 N.J. Super. 333 (App. Div. 2014),
the court hold that a defendant convicted of violating either N.J.S.A.
2C:40-26a or N.J.S.A. 2C:40-26b must be sentenced to at least 180 days in jail
without parole. French held that a sentence to an in-patient drug
rehabilitation program in lieu of jail was an illegal sentence under section
26b. The court concludes that, under section 26a or 26b, a sentence to any
other non-custodial alternative program, such as a home detention program
(HEDS) or a community service program (CSLS), is likewise illegal.
