Priscilla Chan, who just earned her medical degree at the University of California last week, has no doubt been a inspiration to the world's youngest self-made billionaire; the most recent example being Facebook's decision to incorporate the new Organ Donor feature in Timeline.
"Starting today, you can add that you're an organ donor to your timeline, and share your story about when, where or why you decided to become a donor... (Facebook) can be a big part of helping solve the crisis out there."—Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, May 1, 2012
Since the announcement, tens of thousands of users have already signed up to be organ donors. Finally, an online act that can actually potentially make a difference, as opposed to meaningless (and often unrelated) Facebook memes! An act that not only announces your support, but gives you the opportunity to do something about it if and when the need arises.
What do you think? Will you sign up to be an organ donor*?
*Note: this feature is not yet available in Canada
