I view myself as deeply pro-life and this measure makes complete sense to me. Technology can delay natural death far beyond what is reasonable.

Turn that statement around and apply it to organ harvesting. Technology has caused the harvest of the most sought after organs from living people. Technology speeds the "natural death" for the so-called greater cause.

This is not about choice it is about adapting definitions BECAUSE of technology in my opinion. Anyone can take their own life but anybody cannot take another's organs without defining death so it is possible.

Not interested in arguing just sayin'

Organs are rarely harvested from patients with malignant and terminal disease. Usually, they are taken from accident victims, if I recall correctly.

I don’t perceive you as being argumentative at all. I think we are looking at different circumstances instead.

Your comments are well considered, either way.
