If people gave the gift of life (organ donor) house calls wouldn’t be needed.I can’t understand why people want to keep body parts when they get put in the hole to become worm food,give it up you can’t use it.
“If people gave the gift of life house calls wouldn’t be needed..”
Are you SERIOUS? If you want to donate your organs, that is YOUR choice. You can’t see that this is over reaching and could be abused? Geez. I can’t believe that anyone would not see a problem with this issue. Will SIDS babies be used as well? How about the skin? Can that be sheared off because a burn patient somewhere may need it? At what point, do we become butchered cows hanging from chains. I was born with my organs and if I want to rot with them that is my choice.
My father collapsed and could not be revived at his home in April, 2008. He was kept alive by the EMT crew, who transported him not to a hospital but a local medical clinic, where he was kept on life support, purportedy until the family could get there.
We were set upon instead, wanting consent to harvest not just organs but skin and bone. They were more relentless than the worst telemarketer, badgering really. He was an organ donor, but that was not enough for these, yes, ghouls. My mother consented to get them to go away, we were still in shock and tears and she wanted them to leave us be.
I was later quietly told by the funeral director that they really dislike working with the aftermath of this. There's often little left beyond hands and a head. How close to grave robbery are we willing to go, here?
I do not like this, not at all. It's morally suspect no matter how much benefit might be derived. The "gift of life" sounds very nice and it's not something that most would want to deny, but I've lived through the reality of it, and it's very dark.
There is a profit motive, and quite a large one from the near agitation of the sales pitch we received.
