Saving a life or funding a hospital. The later according to you........Sorry to hear that.
I would like to think that my brother's lungs, eyes, liver, heart, kidneys, skin and whatever else was harvested helped save all those lives.
Go ahead you two, try to explain to my step-father that he may have made the wrong decision to have the plug pulled.
And try to explain to the recipients of his life saving organs that they were merely pawns in the "organ harvesting" scam that you two are alleging.......
I don't know what inner hatred you have for organ harvesting is but you'll be hard pressed to convince any parent or relative who had to make that awful decision that they were wrong in their decision......
“Saving a life or funding a hospital. The later according to you........Sorry to hear that.”
It’s not an either/or question. Of course hospitals want to harvest organs to save lives. They also want to do stem cell research and human cloning to save lives. That desire doesn’t make what they want to do moral, and it doesn’t rule out the possibility that they have other motives besides the altruistic ones.
I have no idea about your personal situation, but yes, in a lot of cases, the hospitals are harvesting organs from people who would certainly die anyway. However, they cannot know for certain how or when most of those people would die if they did not kill them on the operating table by harvesting their organs. Also, they cannot know how many people they harvested would have recovered if they weren’t killed.
You can do some moral calculus and try to weigh the costs vs benefits of the people who were helped and the people who were harmed, but I will stick with the simple principle that life belongs to God and we will have to answer to him when we decide to take it.
