"We're here for your liver"
Mark
If you don’t own your body, what do you own?
Drug laws, anyone? Anyone?
A public information campaign involves unpleasant expenses such as for the printing of brochures and the filming of TV ads, and also that pesky business of an informed patient exercising refusal which can play havoc with donation target quotas.
This plan is so much more streamlined and cost-effective don't you think?
England is the native land of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of “Frankenstein”, so this story makes macabre sense.
Only if I can have my guns back first.
If they project a need for thousands more, all they need to do is to massage the stats pertaining to acceptance to kidney dialysis treatments a half-percentage point or so.
They would all have died eventually anyway, what difference does a decade or so either way make?
And who are you to suggest that The State should be deprived of your organs if they are needed?
Are you suggesting that The State does not have your best interests at heart and would act in a cavalier manner?
After The State has educated you and brought you along through every facet of your life, this is how you repay The State's benevolence? What an ungrateful slob you must be, after all you have been given. You should be completely ashamed of yourself.
Your lack of gratitude may cause us to reconsider your Grandmother's application for kidney dialysis treatments. You will be informed of our amended decision via form letter and postal mail.
Thanks! I have been considering branching out into organ dealing, as I already have the donors strapped into the chairs, and can knock ‘em out in short order. I’ll just say the stitches and pain is due to deep roots!
LMAO!
I see know what became of those three feet of my colon that mysteriously went missing after my last root canal......
Gosh, I just knew somebody like you would show up.
Transplants are too expensive? Well, so is saving a child born months too early. Millions sometimes. Many families are either bankrupted by it or you end up helping pay for it. Are you also in favor of letting that child go or doing an abortion? If not, what’s the difference between that and your objections to transplants?
Quality of life is low? You know, most people in comas or vegetative states have an even lower quality of life, and their care also bankrupts families or puts a burden on other folks. So should we just cut off all that expensive equipment or maybe starve them to death? If not, what’s the difference?
Remember that both of the above situations also generate BIG bucks for select people.
The woman who got the pancreas of a dear relative of mine has since had a child, something she couldn’t do before. She could reject the pancreas and die any time now, but she has a child. You would deny her and her husband that? I never heard about the folks who got the kidneys and liver, but can only hope they had similar good results.
BTW, I do NOT support forcing anybody to donate organs.
And I, in turn, knew that a self-righteous twit like you would show up, who is oh so generous when it comes to other peoples' money.
People like you are going to see to it that we are all slaves to the health care industry.
You’d be surprised how much sausage could be packed into that 3 feet of your colon.
>> I see know what became of those three feet of my colon that mysteriously went missing after my last root canal......
Now you have a semi-colon.
One result will be that the practical definition of “death” will be eased up a bit, maybe a lot, for lots of folks.
"But I'm not dead yet!"
Go to your room!
“Your lack of gratitude may cause us to reconsider your Grandmother’s application for kidney dialysis treatments. You will be informed of our amended decision via form letter and postal mail.”
Relax comrade...
That can be cured with a simple “donation” to the right Apparatchik at the DNC Politburo, and a couple of extra Vodka rations...
The more corrupt the Democrat, the cheaper they are to buy...
Ethics abuse potential?
> Go to your room!
Can't claim originality for that one, but I couldn't resist.
