“Western medicine has nothing to offer...”

Actually it does. This particular disease is caused by a genetic defect. Western science is making good progress in correcting these, although not fast enough to help this guy.

“i’m guessing that they will take the body of recently deceased person”

No, they will kill what they call a “brain dead” person. When they say someone is “brain dead”, that means they are actually still alive. It isn’t unheard of for people classified by doctors as “brain dead” to recover either, since the designation is subjective (there is no certain test to determine “brain death”).

A dirty little secret of organ transplantation is that they cannot harvest organs from dead people. They must harvest organs from living human beings, or the organs are worthless for transplantation. The organ donor is killed on the operating room table when their vital organs are removed.

I still have ethical problems with this, because although they say the body donor is “brain dead”, that’s a subjective determination. In reality, a living, breathing person is going to be killed by doctors in order to acquire his body to be used for the transplant.

Something new to do with people on Death Row.

In other countries, look for the ruling elites to use "undesirables" as "body donors" to keep the elites alive longer.

It gives term “giving head” new meaning.

Soon we’ll be digitally uploaded.

There's a difference between binary code and a human being.

A big gap.

A gigantic gap.

A categorical gap.

Like comparing a human being to a stone.
