and just change it right there. you can also assign someone with responsibility to fulfill once you're gone. what do you guys think? >> somebody on twitter says could you post when i die i'm with jesus. as their stat us. >> hanging with jesus. >> hanging with jesus. >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> what do you think, lauren? >> i don't know. kind of creepy because you want to pre is her that far what that person lived, with what they express their feelings, you get someone else in thereto start posting things it, takes away from the personal aspect that far page. and then when you know someone's dead and gone, do you really opportunity see in your fashion book feed their name coming up? >> almost alarming. in high school, we had a friends who, you know, died way too soon. >> right. >> and i guess their mother started posting at her for the status updates, and it was really difficult to see when going through your news feed, it was like thanks for all of the love, thanks for. >> this and it was just hard, you know? to know that person passed away, but still updating and saying things, it look that way, because you have the

picture right next to what they are saying. hard. >> creepy. >> so when i die, like saying on the tombstone, go, put your phone up next to the tombstone it, tells you my history. maybe roll the video. >> like the scan thing, you scan it? the code. >> that with the black and white -- >> who? >> qr code. >> like you're in the star, trying to scan tough? >> right. >> they have those on tombstones. >> oh? >> so what do you want yours to come up and say once we scan it? what did you want it to say, sneak. >> maybe roll some tape, me doing something. >> really? >> so you want your real, your resume real? >> your final moments in television? >> can i get into heaven. here is my demo real. >> this would be something. that will would be something. >> okay. >> thanks, lauren, boy, some very lucky people out there this morning.

the berks county area, and we do have some snow showers, possible, for us, especially this afternoon, but could you see flurry or two this morning, kind of being cloudy most of the day. jump ahead re quirk before we get to the seven day to saturday. now looking like the saturday night snow may actually stick, and amount to a little, not a lot necessarily, and this is the early call. but any time after 4:00 on saturday, into saturday night, and i am bea to ruin your valentine day, could get maybe inch, inch and a half of snow. so that's the early call on the saturday night storm. and then the cold is pretty much guaranteed, for sunday and monday, the colds he is air of the season so far. bob? >> sue, morning, everybody, let's go to the jam cam. i95 northbound, accident, right near girard avenue. so this is impacting everybody leaving center city, and headed northbound, the two right lanes, are taken out, problems on mass transit this morning, septa's trenton

regional rail line, 20 minute delays leaving philly headed north because of amtrak wire problems, and also running with about ten minute delays on the patco high-speed line. that's this morning, before they even start this whole construction mess that's going to cause a hot mess later on tonight, looking at 26 minute gaps in service, and that project begins for this afternoon rush hour, and also, for tomorrow. >> bob, hang in here, because i want to get your opinion on. >> this imagine your children, they have a life threatening disease, right? you have twins. but you can only save one of them. >> that's something that's so tough to think b but that's what a couple in ontario canada thinks when doctors told them their adopted twin toddlers had rare genetic disorder called ala gill syndrome. it affect their liver, heart, other vital organs. they were thrilled to find the ad top tiff father was a match for the twin three year olds. but devestated when doctors said he didn't have enough liver for both: so the family

has difficult decision to the doctor. >> so, on tuesday, day before yesterday, doctors took part of the dad's liver and transported it, basically, into one every his twin girls. who was doing very well, by the way. but the other is still waiting for another match, you know, somewhere up in canada, the united state. >> but the family hasn't given up. they've started facebook page, the hospital has received 436 applications from complete strangers, that are interested in helping out and becoming donors. >> bob, can you imagine? you have six kids. >> wow. >> what, what a decision. >> it is funny when you started talking about that, my first thought was you can divide your liver. but now they're saying they can only take enough to help one of the children. wow. >> i didn't realize that. >> doctor mike, explain this to me. because who is on the phone, i thought you could slice up a liver of a human being and put it into multiple people?

>> reporter: well, listen, i don't know the details of this case. but obviously, from what it sounds like, they have a donor, meaning, the ad top tiff father. and there was only one procedure they do do, otherwise, they would jeopardize the health of the father. so, in this case it sounds to me like a no brainer. we need to find another donor. it is one of those, boy, can you imagine, a more difficult decision to make? i mean, will be biblical in proportion. what you need to do is do what they did. they took the liver, gave it to one. because they know they have that. they need to find a donor. and, i'm believer, mike, in human continue -- humanity, and i believe they will find a donor who will step up to the plate. >> the thing is, isn't time an issue? i wonder how much time you have to search for a donor? >> i don't think it is a matter of days. i think it is a matter of

getting the word out. and with children's hospital being here, right in philadelphia, something they deal with a lot. >> sure. >> and there is tons of research going on, but, this sounds to me like what needs to happen is people need to put the word out, get tested, see if they're a match. and let's make it happen. >> that's why we want to do this story. because that's going to save this other child. >> so they have 430 some folks already come forward. >> how long does it take, doctor mike, in order to get tested and get thumbs-up or thumbs down? >> as we know with the lung transplant, remember that, it can be done quickly if the heat is on. and so i think what will happen is they will get all of these people that have stepped up to the plate, they'll do blood tests, they'll do genetic tests to make sure that they're a matchment and that they will not have be rejected and they'll make it

happen. >> okay, hey, doctor mike. >> could be couple of weeks. >> thanks for weighing in on that. just thought it was important to spread the word here. >> i would not want to have to make that decision, i would want the doctor, the way that those parent decided, you know, let the doctor make that decision. and then we'll hope and pray we can find a match with the other 430 some. >> all of this publicity it, will happen. >> did you see what's behind us here? the temple bands is here. >> i love them. you know the basketball team is doing pretty well. celebrating special birthday, alex. >> oh, it is a big birthday. we'll celebrate. >> who, who, who, who is we'll celebrate. >> who, who, who, who is birthday is
