This explains perfectly what the culture of death is trying to do to all of humanity.

Remember jackals. . . Karma's a bitch!
once you have no problem with killing the unborn... harvesting organs from the infirm is small step
when does it become self defense to protect ones family from those seeking todo them harm?
Once you posit that you can murder the innocent for the benefit of the living and you can murder based on the inconvenience of location then you have stricken down all law regarding murder.
You can no longer logically condemn any murder.
When you have reached that state then why would it be wrong for governments to murder anyone inconvenient for them. At least under the Nazi's and Stalin they were sufficiently ashamed of their actions to try to keep them hidden. The new breed wants to declare evil good and shout it from the housetops.
Decades ago there was a Quincy episode dealing with this (Quincy was a “medical examiner”...a doctor who works for the police to try to figure out why someone died). In that episode, they raised the question of whether a person was declared dead earlier than necessary, because he was carrying an organ donor card (i.e., it’s critical to harvest organs as soon as possible from a dying person, before they ‘spoil’). They concluded, no, he was allowed to die completely before they went after his organs. While that may have been the conclusion on that episode, I immediately terminated my organ-donor check box on my driver’s license.
Just interested. So if a person has been in an automobile accident, and the paramedics put that person on life support at the scene, is then later determined there is no brain activity and the person will die if removed, life support is removed and organs are harvested, is this considered euthanasia?
There would be no organ waiting lists if it were legal for donors and their heirs to be compensated for organs provided for transplant.
Wait until new organs can actually extend a person’s life beyond a normal lifespan. Larry Niven talked about this in some of his sci-fi, and not in a good way. From wiki:
“...the problem led to a repressive society almost unrecognizable by today’s standards. Since the average citizens wished to extend their lives, the world government sought to increase the supply by using condemned criminals to supply the organ banks. When this failed to meet the demand, citizens would vote for the death penalty for more and more trivial crimes. First violent crimes, then theft, tax evasion, false advertising, and even traffic violations became punishable by the organ banks.”
He was talking about “organ legging” back in the late 60’s.

Dr. Frankenstein is still alive and works for the National Institutes of Health.
I have a better idea. Some of them have to be healthy enough for “donation.”
Lets harvest the organs of the scumbags on death row. Give them a chance to REALLY repay society for their crime.
And it might speed up they “payment schedule” a bit.
Be afraid be very afraid.
