Singer said, the result of this “ethical choice” is that a person on a ventilator who would have been considered alive 30 years ago, "is now considered a good candidate for having his chest cut open to take out a beating heart to give to a total stranger."

Sounds like something right out of the medical experiments from Nazi Germany.

Sadly, Singer is not using hyperbole in this description. Organs are taken from bodies with still beating hearts. Many/most organs are useless if the body actually dies and the heart stops beating before it is cut open.

I spent a horrifying but enlightening train ride with a transplant nurse once between Ann Arbor and Chicago.

I will never sign an organ donor card. I told my kids dont' bother signing one, because I will never give my approval for them to donate or receive organs.

Harsh, yes, but I truly think it is cannablistic that we 'harvest' from live people.
