This is some sick stuff, folks. But the culture of death is coming down to that. When you start putting conditions on the absolute value of human life, there's no stopping which conditions will be applied.

If it’s your body and the gubmint has no right to tell you what you can do, where are the so called “feminists” arguing for your right to sell an organ?

At present the majority of these organs go to waste.

Eventually, don't they ALL go to waste?

We should seriously consider all of the alternatives.

Fine. Here's an alternative. What say we start with YOUR organs and why wait until you're in some degraded condition where you can't appreciate where and to whom your organs went.

It is only a matter of time before organs are removed to pay the bill. The operation was a success...., and all that.

It has always been only a short hop from shredding babies for convenience to hacking up our elders and injured for spare parts.

The next step isn't so far, either, when people really get hungry. Why do you think there is an almost constant cannibalistic meme in horror/sci-fi movies any more? (watch the fringe, it's where desensitization starts).

They'll say "Can't let all that meat go to waste after they gutted the old geezer."

If the Youth in Asia want to donate their organs, I say let them. What business is it of ours? If we start trying to tell the Youth in Asia what they can do with their organs, the next thing you know the Chinese will start telling us how to deal with our pianos. What? Oh, that's different. Nevermind.

If they’re so eager to see people die, they’re hypocrites for acting like it’s about saving lives.

We’ve become a nation so spoiled and pampered that we seem to think that we’re owed a long, happy, trouble free life and that if the normal course of events occurs that interferes with that before we’re ready, people get into such a snit.

People die. It happens to everyone sometime.

Nobody is going to live forever anyway, so this abomination of killing others to harvest their organs is inexcusable.

There is simply no justification for it. That means some people are going to die before they’re ready to, whether it’s the person who needs the transplant who can’t get it, or the person who is being killed for the harvest.

This life is not all there is but that’s what people have come to believe as we’ve gotten away from faith in God.

Whatever happened to “keep your laws off my body”?

My organs, MY CHOICE!

Before some ghoul robs my body, I plan to defile myself so thoroughly no one will be able to profit from my untimely death.

Count on it...

Obama Regulation Czar: Organ Harvesting Without Consent

Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Cass Sunstein, has advocated that laws be changed so that deceased patients’ organs may be harvested for transplant without prior consent from the patient or family.

Sunstein and co-author Richard H. Thaler outlined the policy in their 2008 book, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Many organs that could be used in transplants are lost because patients fail to give their consent before dying, Sunstein and Thaler note, and family members often refuse to donate their loved one’s organs.

This “explicit consent” should be turned into a “presumed consent,” write Sunstein and Thaler, where laws would assume that, unless people explicitly choose not to, they want to donate their organs to science for transplant or other medical uses.
