A paper published by the New England Journal of Medicine suggested that Canada should take advantage of the bumper crop of corpses produced by its euthanasia policies and begin harvesting them for organs.
The organs would be taken from the euthanasia volunteers while they are sedated, but still alive.
Canada’s National Post reported on Thursday that the paper has caused a stir in the Canadian bioethics community because the organ-harvesting proposal might turn a horrified public away from Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), the Canadian euthanasia program. But the proposal also follows the logic of euthanasia to its ultimate conclusion, which is if people want to die, and they have healthy organs, why not pass those organs along to people who do not want to die?
The paper suggested sedating the patients and removing their organs before death is initiated, to ensure maximum freshness and quality of the organs. This notion runs afoul of Canada’s “dead donor rule” (DDR), a legal requirement that stipulates organ donors must be legally dead before their organs can be taken, so the organ removal process itself cannot be the cause of death.
The paper argued it was time to rethink the DDR in the context of MAID because those who agree to euthanasia are “knowingly consenting to death.” This supposedly minimizes the risk of opportunistic doctors killing people just to get their organs.
“The categorical constraint on physician killing, for its part, is legally and ethically circumvented by voluntary euthanasia,” the paper contended, saying it was “ethically arbitrary” to require “strict temporal sequencing” of death and organ removal for someone who wants to die, and wishes their organs to be donated.

Gimme, gimme, gimmie your kidney!
China is big on organ harvesting while the donors are alive. Canada is a CCP puppet.
Soon, it will be presumed consent. They won’t even bother asking.
It’s my understanding that an 80-ish year old kidney is generally not usable.
The ideal organ donors are 20-ish who get killed in a car wreck, no?
Ghouls. Canada has become a very sick place.
This is the slippery slope that people warned about.
Now they will push even harder to coerce people into killing themselves because the doctors need an organ.
True, they will push a lot of depressed younger people to end it. All because they need an organ.
Sad and blue, Cuz i cain't do dat boogaloo!
How much do you have to pay BIG/BAD GOVERNMENT or their proxy NGO to murder you? Some criminals will do it for free or you could eliminate yourself.
That’s the bitter truth.
Communist China runs the same kind of slaughter- for- parts factories. Congratulations Canada - you’ve arrived. It sure didn’t take you very long to throw away your liberties and march yourselves into the mass- murdering business.
Guess what kind of voting machines Canada uses...
A few months ago a healthy 25-year old girl in Spain was “euthanized.” She consented for mental health after being traumatically assaulted by an illegal alien. She changed her mind and asked not to be killed, but the hospital refused her request because her organs had already been sold.
It was good for “the community” though.
As if they haven’t been doing this for years already. Most likely in the USA, too.
I’m not a donor, but I figure they’ll take whatever guts they want anyhow. The Organ Donor box on the DL is as effective the Walk-Don’t Walk button at intersections which probably isn’t connected to anything. Checking the box or pushing the button makes you FEEL LIKE you’re accomplishing something.
No greater truism than the love of money being the root of all evil.
“So can we have your liver then.”

The “Adrenachrome Class” wants your parts too.
That's what I told my lawyer when I made my will, living will, and POA. Nobody would want these 70+ year old parts. As evil as modern medicine is becoming, no way I would mark that donor box regardless of age. Doctors and nurses are mostly OK. It's the medical associations and corporate medicine that are bad. That's how I lost so much of my mobility.
