Connecticut State Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr. (D-Branford) — son of former U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) — wants to give state government control over what happens to citizens’ organs after they die.

Kennedy recently introduced SB 750, which would automatically enroll Connecticut’s citizens in the organ donation program.

Sure, pass that law, get that camel’s nose under the tent. The next step will be to add and amendment that the State owns your organs BEFORE you die. At least in China, the State only owns your organs if you are in prison.

Hold on to your kidneys, kids!

The left has absolutely zero respect for those they supposedly represent. Zero respect for human life, except their own.

Betcha the elite will be exempt.

Will be coming across the board and factored into the “death panel equation”:

Pymt = Estimated future tax payments to be made by patient.
Ben = Estimated future government benefits received by patient.
Cost = Estimated cost of care.
Org = Estimated future tax payments of organ recipients.

Before this, if Cost + Ben is greater than Pymnt, you get treatment. If not, you don’t.

Now, Pymnt will have to be greater than Cost + Ben + Org to get treatment.

My goal - to live so long and drink so much, my organs are worthless.

Hey, Massachusetts - How come Connecticut is getting stuck with your politicians??

I was born and raised in CT, so glad I moved to a state that’s going down the CT path, but not there yet.

I feel for my relatives and good folks that are there for whatever reason.
