Meh. Over my cold dead body you putz!

[EinNYC]

This would violate the tenets of several religions, Judaism included. You must be buried with all your parts. That is why certain organizations in Israel meticulously scrape every fragment of flesh, bone, even blood off of surfaces and the pavement for victims of terrorism in Israel.

This proposed measure is nothing less than GHOULISH. It smacks of Commie China selling organs of condemned prisoners. And who is to say they'd wait until you're really dead?

[correctthought]

So, I wonder how much the state would make from this?

Is this a ripe new area for kickbacks?

Will the family see a dime? assuming they didn’t want the corpse buried intact.

So now demoncrats want to not only control your life, but your body in death too.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Another Kennedy and an “organ”. Gee, wasn’t Mary Jo Kopechne enough?

And then there was the Sen. Chris “Sandinista” Dodd (D-Ct) and Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) in their famous “waitress sandwich” down on Massachusetts Avenue. I’ll bet that they were playing with some “organs” way back then, and not just theirs’.

Is there a sane Kennedy anywhere in the bunch or is this political/sexual insanity a totally inherited thingy?

[cherry]

I knew it would come to this....once they get that "right" then expect a very quick uptick in denying people certain life saving treatments...

I'll poison myself before I let them divvy up my parts....

[semaj]

Jr. needs a pill.

[Milton Miteybad]

Hey...Sen. Kennedy...I got an "organ" hangin' right heah for ya, boy.

Heh, heh...heh, heh...

It might just be your cold dead body if you need an organ transplant and none is available.

You might recall the flap over Vice President Dick Cheney when he received someone's heart and the argument was who died in his place? Did Cheney pull strings? Are we supporting a black market in places like China just as we support poppy growth in Afghanistan with our demand for organs and heroin? If there are sufficient organs to go around, lives are saved and a black market involving forced extraction of organs might be reduced in places like China.

The practice is the law now in Austria and it seems to be working just fine. The proposed law in Connecticut permits the individual to opt out of the program at will. I have some concern that the privacy of the individual will not be respected given the leaks we have seen from gun registries etc. and the leaks we have seen of government records concerning individuals in the Trump administration.

I think our criticism should be less reflexively anti-Kennedy, however deserved even unto the 10th generation, and more thoughtful.

[SoCal Pubbie]

So does Mike Gallagher.

[Glad2bnuts]

Add into this the fact that organs donated from someone who has died are not good. That is why the medical industry has invented this fantasy of “brain death”. They did this for the simple reason that if they waited for actual death, the organs go to waste......believe it or not.....

[BradyLS]

They’re looking for every angle to _own_ you. Lock, stock, and barrel.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they decide that if the state has given (welfare, entitlements, training, whatever) more to a body than a body has produced, they’ll say they have an “investment” in the body and have a “right” to seek any return on it.

[fella]

When JFK was alive our schools taught us that in Communism the government owns the people but that here in America the people own the government.

The RATs have always had a thing about owning people.

[Fresh Wind]

Once the organs are harvested, the rest can be used for food.

[ronnie raygun]

Before running for office they all need to undergo a mental test and it should be published for all to see

[Biggirl]

Will not pass.

[bigredkitty1]

It’s not just liberal strongholds where this is occuring. Sadly, misguided TX state representative Jason Villalba (R) introduced similar legislation. Presently in Texas, to be an organ donor, one must opt in (by checking a box when applying/renewing for your drivers license). This representative wants to change it to where you must OPT OUT of being an organ donor. This disturbs me greatly. He may have submitted the bill with noble intentions, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Even the organization Donate Life Texas is against the proposed legislation, fearing substantial negative backlash. If the bill passes and even a single unwilling ‘donor’ has his/her organs transplanted, there will be a tsunami of negative press and a sh*tstorm of lawsuits. The acceptance of organ donation would be set back decades.

[Mashood]

Well...I have one organ they can have...Can’t seem to get it to do anything...

[BilLies]

Sounds like it should be a moneymaker.
“The Burke and Hare murders were a series of 16 murders committed over a period of about ten months in 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The killings were undertaken by William Burke and William Hare, who sold the corpses to Doctor Robert Knox for dissection at his anatomy lectures.” Wikipedia
.......
If Planned Murderhood can to the unborn, why should live grownups be exempt?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Sure, pass that law, get that camel’s nose under the tent. The next step will be to add and amendment that the State owns your organs BEFORE you die. At least in China, the State only owns your organs if you are in prison.

Hold on to your kidneys, kids!

/S

[redfreedom]

The left has absolutely zero respect for those they supposedly represent. Zero respect for human life, except their own.

Betcha the elite will be exempt.

[fruser1]

Will be coming across the board and factored into the “death panel equation”:

Pymt = Estimated future tax payments to be made by patient.
Ben = Estimated future government benefits received by patient.
Cost = Estimated cost of care.
Org = Estimated future tax payments of organ recipients.

Before this, if Cost + Ben is greater than Pymnt, you get treatment. If not, you don’t.

Now, Pymnt will have to be greater than Cost + Ben + Org to get treatment.
