“My personal opinion, under no circumstances should those who refuse to sigh an Organ Donor Card be permitted to receive donated organs.”
Fine as long as none of my money subsidizes the program then.
I really don’t know what all the fuss is about. There is billions of dollars made every year in organ harvesting and transplanting. Now they want to make sure the adults are actually dead before they’re sliced up?
No problem Doc, go for the top dollar and quit worrying about the little stuff. We’re all going to die anyway, so there can’t be anything wrong with speeding up the process.
Babies that are being aborted sure aren’t brain dead. The mother and the doctor maybe are but that baby sure is NOT or else they wouldn’t be doing the abortion. Right? It’s legal to kill babies, so why the questions about cutting up the adults?
actually this issue that need to be addressed is the medical vulture scenario.
The statements being made are very valid, and given this story, very very real. Efforts to save a life are set aside in order to “greater good” harvest organs.
How many people who might have lived were harvested for that 100k+ heart transplant? It is a serious question. the ghoulish here refer to motorcycles as donor cycles. (a term that doctors should be sanctioned for using as it implys they do not try to save the lives of “some” people)
Hopefully organ cloning will solve this issue but until then the holier than thou vulture crowd needs to take a step back and relax.
I’m pretty sure I’ve been clinically dead on more than one midwatch. But when I thought I woke up in Hell I was just back at work.
No no! AFTER, not DURING, silly!
Organ donation is not as pristine as it was first presented. How many people were sacrificed to take someone else off of a donor list? There have been some close calls this year.
I signed my organ donor papers and I have no problem with them harvesting my organs if I am ever in the shape this woman was in.
I signed knowing there would always be a very very tiny chance that I might recover from a seemingly hopeless condition.
I will remain an organ donor.
I’ll put it in Marxist terms you should be able to understand. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
>>My personal opinion, but under no circumstance sign an organ >>card.
>My personal opinion, under no circumstances should those who >refuse to sign an Organ Donor Card be permitted to receive >donated organs
Amen to that. If one is ignorant and selfish about donating organs, one does not have the right to receive an organ, even if they desperately need it.
Organ donation = donating life.
My personal opinion, under no circumstances should those who refuse to sigh an Organ Donor Card be permitted to receive donated organs.
