Falun Gong does “ring a bell”. I don’t condone or want harvesting of prisoner’s organs. I merely wanted to point out the extent to which the matter had not been thought all the way through to other places that thinking could go. I’m new at posting here, maybe sarcasm should have been indicated.
I have donated an organ, and the person who has it works saving people’s lives and health. My left kidney serves humanity even more now that when I was using it. I have served the US in uniform in the Navy, and by working for the USMC as a civilian.
That's good -- because there are people who already *do* it. And countless others who are chomping at the bit to begin.

"Slippery slope" may be a logical fallacy, but in practice, it happens all the time.

Voluntary is good. Involuntary is not. Especially of vital organs for which there is no duplicate, such as those mentioned in the article.
