Since people can pass those tests without, in the editors’ view, “being alive in any meaningful sense,” and since those people can be sources of working organs, the editorial proposes changing the definition. It does not specify what the new definition should be...These ghouls are putting the cart before the horse.

Any donor organ shortage is wholly artifical and created by government.

Jim, when do you get to move into the networks' LA offices?
And who gets the New York Times facilities?
Cheers!

The editorial asserts that current law misunderstands death as an event rather than a process
That's because the rest of us live in the real world, rather than manufacturing our own within darwinian-infested, sociopathic laboratories.

It’s pretty easy to guess what the definition will be:
“We want the organs, therefore the donor (no longer a human or person, just a donor) is kaput!.”
These ghouls are putting the cart before the horse.
But not before gutting the horse for parts.

Wow. Solve the artificial shortage created by the government ban on compensation (making lifesaving implements effectively worthless) by redefining death to include the living?
Doublespeak much?
