Can You Donate Without The Blessing of your Spouse?

Thank you everyone for your very kind and thoughtful responses.  I was able to sit down with my DH this weekend and have a good conversation about some of the main points about donating and why I wanted to do it.  He was much more receptive on this occasion than I expected him to be. And I did bring up that he was planning to have a risky and life-changing surgery himself for his own health and I was supporting his decision.  He cares for my aunt and wants to see her healthy too, but he still doesn't love the idea that I'll be the one going through the risk and pain of surgery rather than one of my other family members.  But, I believe now that he'll support me regardless.

And just FYI, for anyone else going through trying to talk your spouse around: It helps to catch them when they're in a good mood and snuggle up to them and talk softly and sweetly about it...   ;)
