Several years ago I read that the organ donations are usually taken from a "living" patient on a ventilator . The article noted that the need for certain organs could cause doctors not to be aggressive in their treatment .The patient would die of medical neglect. So we have the problem who defines death . At the time I asked my daughter to remove the permission off her drivers license .

A friend told me something similar about activities in the county hospital. I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not, I have this awful tendency to believe the good in people, but I removed my sticker from my driver's license anyway. I am glad I did.

So it seems logical to me, then, that the next step taken by the right-to-kill movement will be to stop requiring permission for organ retrieval from patients.

Those who are designated organ donors undoubtely have more "faith" in government and the "system" than most of us here do.
