I stand by my original assertion that this can be handled with a will.

Is that like an internist, but you practice dermatology?

I'm wondering if this criteria is in preparation for the Stem Cell facilities?

I don't know how much longer I can stay in this state. I have to find the dividing line between "I'm still trying to fight the good fight" .... and "I give up -- I can't, in good conscience, remain here any longer."

And in this case, shortages equal death.this hints of the "free markets solve all problems" premise, which reflection shows to be oversimplified and, in fact, naive.
They do not. A market is only a tool, a venue, an organization, devoid of constructive moral force. The informed conscience of the market participant solves the problem, with the market being the arena.
Throw something into the marketplace, without setting and enforcing the moral limits, without keeping out of bounds what should be kept out of bounds, and you'll wind up with the slippery slope that leads you to the commoditization of human beings.
That is about as evil as it gets.
To: wagglebee
Hey, there is no such thing as a slippery slope!
To: the invisib1e hand
More evil than that. Just about every lawmaker in NJ has some kind of connection to a hospital, whether it's sitting on an advisory board, having an employed relative, doing legal or insurance work. So this is a major conflict of interest. The law lays on the side where the pockets are lined. Body Brokering is BIG business.

Hell, at some point you've got to start worrying if the culture of death is going to decide that a hangnail makes you a "worthless eater" and no longer deserve food and water.

[The people driving the ethics community further in its current utilitarian direction, Drake said, would rather have more organs available for worthy people than waste resources on people with severe brain injury that many professionals equate privately with those they've labelled brain-dead.]
That is the truth.
It goes side by side with those who are trying to make it easier to force the doctors to stop feeding great aunt Mabel so she can die before the last of her estate goes to the nursing home.

All they will need to do you in is some rich guy in the next room needing an organ!
I remember "Coma" very well....one of Michael Douglas's earlier films. Never read the book though.

Which reminds me of a quote from the quintessential thinker of our day, Nelson Muntz:
"Hey, dingus, your epidermis is showing!"
