Organs to be taken without consentBy Patrick Hennessy and Laura Donnelly Last Updated: 9:21pm GMT 12/01/2008

You make compelling points. I would suggest that the proposed changes already have the mechanisms within them to accelerate such a breakdown, such as the fact that hospitals will be 'rated' as to their 'donated' organ output. Surely no hospital administrator wants to be on the bottom of the national ratings list for organ donations? Having a 'database error' toward the end of every fiscal cycle would insure a steady stream of organs......
In fact there have been such campaigns for many years, with a well-tried system of donor cards, bracelets etc. It's because those exisiting opt-in systems don't supply enough organs that alternatives are now proposed.
Actually the criteria will more likely relate to what condition your organs are judged to be in and how determined are your relatives and/or associates to have you back.
Sorry, I guess that in my attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor, my tongue was too far in my cheek. I was attempting to illustrate an absurd situation by an absurdity, and I apologize for not making that more clear.
Of course, as things stand now, you're entirely correct.
So we can definitely mark you down as part of the pro-death crowd when it comes to people who need organ transplants?
Where is this article? I’d like to read it?
Here you go. I found it right away by searching the Daily Mail site with the keywords "Large Family Christmas".
The brits aren't gonna take this lying down.
The back says some pretty funny stuff. But you gotta click on it to see it, beware of colour british humour with foul language.

Much obliged.
Some of the comments are disheartening. A few folks alleging to be from Guernsey are alleging that there was some benefits fraud going about.
Let's hope not. Thanks for the funny post :-)
A little bit more every year. The end goal of all this is COMPLETE control of every aspect of life by a corrupt government.
You're quite welcome. :-)

Indeed. I didn't recall those posts from when I had read the article last year, either because I had stopped reading after the first few "Haven't they heard of condoms?" and "Not very environmentally conscious, are they?" posts in disgust or because they perhaps had not yet been posted at that time.
A very sad time for the children in particular, if true. It's strange about the Comments at the Daily Mail in general....dozens of attempts at submitting comments there have served to make me believe that they either don't post comments from stoats as policy or they won't post anything that is even slightly politically incorrect. Of course all of my comments were politically incorrect, but some were only marginally so and all were of course completely true and lacking any foul language despite the fact that the matter at hand would likely have benefited from it..
And yet they post multiple comments alleging specific, serious criminal acts against private individuals without any links to documentation supporting the claims. Perhaps it strikes me as odd only because I'm a Yank, and over here people tend to get sued over stuff like that....
Just a short leap for them to begin nosing around into their right to ensure healthy organs from us and therefore we should avoid Cheetos and Budweiser or clotted cream and Newcastle in the Brits case.
All true of course. And with the encroachment of Socialism, the point at which 'corruption' is identified moves steadily out of sight until the word is no longer invoked at all. Corruption is such a judgmental, moralistic term after all, and morals are suggestive of a religious underpinning of things. Since religion (Judeo /Christianity, at least) has no place under The Warm Glow Of The Socialist Miracle, then we need to stop talking about corruption as well. It makes people feel bad and it's the way we are going to be doing things around here from now on, after all.
I wish that the boffins would hurry up and finish developing a Star Trek 'transporter', because there are times when I really would like to be beamed out of here.
Where to? Not sure. Places like Montana, Texas and a few others sound awfully nice.
"sigh"
Sadly, it appears that the leap has already been made.
U.K.'Too Fat' Patients Denied NHS Operations (smokers too; 6M people affected)
The NHS wins when its patients die (U.K. National Health Service)
Because banning Cheetos outright would cause instant rioting in the streets, depriving people of treatments and benefits pertaining to their consumption accomplishes the same goal as an outright ban on the causative agent.
One of the wonderful industries springing up because organ transplants are now considered to be a human right by idiots like you is the Medical Adoption industry.
I'm sure you whole-heartedly approve.
Of course, the Peoples Republic of China is also doing its part to make sure that there are plenty of organs available, should you need one and have the money.
But their infidel organs will reside nicely inside their Islamic Masters ! England is gone, in the next war the Islamic majority will use their weapons against us.
“by idiots like you”
Gosh, I like you, too.
I wish it weren’t so, but my daughter donated four organs. One woman was able to have a child because of our daughter’s pancreas. Don’t know about the others.
