He has no idea about what's going to go on if that door is opened, nor will we let him find out ~ provided he doesn't have Hep-C or AIDs.
I keep seeing this phrase “Behavioral Sciences” coming up, with regard to selling Obama and the whacko socialist programs...
An article on KOS described how the Administration needed to bring in Behavioral Sciences people to develop the “Policy-Speak” for selling Obamacare to the sheep, just last week.
We’ve got a bunch of Socialist academes in the White House, that have been discussing policy in the UNIVERSITY for 30 years, but have no idea how things work in the real world.
And if BUSH had even nthought about trying something like this, the media would be screaming “HITLER!!!! GOEBELLS!”
Visions of waking up in a hotel bathtub and missing a kidney.
And the leftists who have been shreiking for the past four decades that politicians & government bureaucrats can keep their dirty fascistic hands off our bodies will rise up to denounce Sunstein & his boss in five...four...three...
They won’t do it.
They need people to die on those waiting lists for organs because the cost would be prohibitive otherwise. If they really wanted more organs available they’d make them worth something to the family of the deceased. Enough to buy a cheap funeral or something.
Whoa.
Cass Sunstein (And what’s his real name? Cassandra?) is assuming that the Government OWNS our bodies “when we die.” The problem is that if the Government OWNS our dead bodies, it’s just a “breath” away from owning our bodies while we’re still breathing.
And this goes back to DENYING us the Unalienable Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
But then the US Constitution hasn’t been the law of the land since 1913.
(BTW, I just purchased the FIVE book History of the American People by Woodrow Wilson for $15. Check the Amazon prices and you will see what a GREAT deal I got.) (I collect history books and textbooks.)
One question is: when are you dead?
If you reach a point where everyone agrees you’re dead, then your organs are dead - and thus useless. Organ transplants only work because the organ is still alive ... which means part of you is alive ... which begs the question of whether you’re actually dead.
Some time back I took a CPR course where the instructor was adamant that if your heart stops beating then you are dead, period. I poised various questions challenging this notion, but he stuck to it: heart stops, you’re dead.
Thing is, that’s not a definition of dead I’m comfortable with. Last year I had open-heart surgery, wherein my heart was stopped - ergo, I’ve been dead. The fact that I have undergone what some may call “death” is juxtaposed with the fact that I’m sitting here typing this sentence. Thus you may understand that I am uncomfortable with any politician/bureaucrat deciding what to do with my organs upon my death, as I may differ with them over what constitutes “dead”.
