Todd Michael Klein, a lawyer, was flying to London in a plane that kept shaking because of the very bad weather. He felt frightened because it seemed the plane would crash. He also felt sad because he had not sent any last messages to the people he loved. Luckily, the plane landed safely, so Mr. Klein decided to start a website on the Internet to help people who wanted to send last messages like him. He calls it Final Thoughts.com. The website gives advice on the kinds of things that people usually want to send messages about such as what to do with property and pets, and what kind of funeral would be best. There is also advice for people who want to give their organs such as kidneys to hospitals, which can transplant them into the bodies of sick people who need them. Another popular idea is for people to write the story of their lives so that the future generations of their families can read about them, perhaps hundreds of years in the future. The website carries adverts which give it an income, and there is also a chat room, where people whose friends and relatives have died can exchange messages to help each other. You can browse the Internet in order to get more information about this website. At present, there are about 10,000 people who have registered by e-mail. Most of them are under 40 years of age.
