A lot of the ideas written about by science fiction writers eventually come true. The same is true of science fiction TV shows and movies. This one is pretty interesting.
What is true for science fiction is also true for nut-job conspiracies.
That's why I have a ping list...
Art imitates Life, and Life imitates Art.
There were two outlandish stories that rattled me. One was about a guy who was going to be executed for having 12 parking tickets. Executed convicts were being harvested for their organs and when the State ran out of criminals, they lowered the death penalty.
A few months later, there was a newspaper article about the Chinese starting to harvest organs from their executed criminals.
The other was about a guy who visited his wife in the hospital and went into detail about how he was trying to kill her. Turned out she was comatose and the docs were keeping her alive so they could use her for parts that needed a "live" donor (skin grafts, etc.)
When my drivers licens was up for renewal, they had a box to check for organ donation.
I quit reading Sci-Fi after that.
