Got a kidney to spare? You might soon be able to register that kidney -- and any other organ you'd care to part with when you depart -- online. New York Sen. Charles Schumer plans to introduce legislation that would legalize online donor registration, according to Monday's editions of the New York Post. When a potential donor dies, his records can be instantly retrieved and the organs instantly, um, harvested. With around 75,000 people in the United States currently waiting for one kind of organ or another, speeding up the process obviously can't hurt.
