DA-FND-108:
Jonathan Shah
Looking Beyond Today
Jonathan Shah wants to honor his father's wishes but fears projecting his own beliefs onto someone who never discussed organ donation. Calm and thoughtful, he is burdened by the responsibility of making a decision without clear guidance. The advocate must support careful reflection and help Jonathan connect the decision to his father's character rather than external expectations or pressure.
