I will not sign a donor card either.

But would you be willing to accept someone else's organ if need be?

An excellent question. If I’m consistent, then no. And I like to be consistent. But I’ve never been tested to that level, so it’s hard for me to say positively no. I would like to say that I would never accept someone else’s organ. The harder question for me would be for a family member. If I had an ailing minor, would I accept it? I’d like to say no... but would I? I hope I’m not tested.

I wouldn’t if it meant the organs were removed before giving the patient a chance to recover. If someone has to die so I can live, I’ll have my Maker to answer to. The ends don’t justify the means. To me, it is comparable to the embryonic stem cell debate. If I have a disease of condition that could be cured by taking the stem cells from a baby in the embryonic stage, I would just have to die. The same for taking organs from a person who could survive if given the time and chance. My life shouldn’t be more important than another’s.

Non sequitur. It is not my duty to anyone to have my life terminated in order that someone else might get an organ that may or may not save his. This is all part of the Liberal insistence that the State and/or the elite have the right and responsibility to kill some people for the benefit of others. The vehemence of the embryonic stem cell fight is the same. Even as other methods of stem cell production are shown to be more useful and as embryonic stem cells have shown only limited and questionable utility the promoters of their use become more insistent that embryonic stem cell research must be financed by the government and/or is the only legitimate stem cell research. That establishes the principle that the government is empowered to assign value to lives and to cull them.

No.

“But would you be willing to accept someone else's organ if need be?”

I was thinking the same thing. No one wants to donate but if it was them or their kid that needs saving it would be a whole different story.
