Obama Regulation Czar: Organ Harvesting Without ConsentAlso see:Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Cass Sunstein, has advocated that laws be changed so that deceased patients’ organs may be harvested for transplant without prior consent from the patient or family.
Sunstein and co-author Richard H. Thaler outlined the policy in their 2008 book, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Many organs that could be used in transplants are lost because patients fail to give their consent before dying, Sunstein and Thaler note, and family members often refuse to donate their loved one’s organs.
This “explicit consent” should be turned into a “presumed consent,” write Sunstein and Thaler, where laws would assume that, unless people explicitly choose not to, they want to donate their organs to science for transplant or other medical uses.
The Future's Shadow (Obama's Organ Harvesting Plan)That man is just evil, the next step is involuntary euthanasia for those not deemed "productive", you can count on it.
Ya that is not concerning at all! (sarcasm)
Thanks - I’ll save that in my files.
