| Acting New Jersey Gov. Richard J. Codey, center, holds up a bill he signed at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., Tuesday, July 22, 2008, that would make New Jerseyans getting driver's licenses decide whether they will be an organ donor. The state has five years to implement the program which includes teaching high school students about organ donation beginning with the 2009-10 school year. Standing next to from left; Codey are Megan Bottino, 13, her brother Joseph F. Bottino III, 15, and their mother, Dianne Bottino, whose husband Joseph F. Bottino Jr. died while waiting for an organ donation. (AP Photo/Mike Derer) |
