I don't support compulsion -- I'm just curious as to why some folk think it's automatically a bad idea.

Look to communist China for a view of the future of compulsory organ donation.

I'm far more worried about Capitalist China: they are a scary bunch! And they are more likely to make money out of the venture. "Communist" China is and always has been a scam: one Dynasty merely replaced another. Consider:

One of the parents of my wife's students is from China. Her husband owns a factory that is -- literally -- a small town: stores, apartments, a hospital, a factory: everything. The make metalworking tools: lathes, drillpresses, forges, milling machines, &tc. Very hi-quality stuff: I bought some off them direct.

I once asked her about "what was life like was under Mao Tse Tung: you know, the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guard, &tc?"

"Marvellous! There were cultural events, and vacations in fantastic resorts, and music and dancing." And she showed me a photo album to prove it...

"But... but...but..." I stammered. "What about..."

She smiled and answered me "I am a General's Daughter. You see, we do not mix with the Workers."

True story. It happened in her living room, and we were sipping very expensive green tea while her daughter had her music lesson from my wife.

As I said, compulsion is neither a Right-or-Left issue. Just like Fascism and Socialism are opposite sides of the same coin, and both totally Evil.

Compulsion drives either Right-or-Left agendas when these are driven at either extreme.
