I’m reminded of a short story by Philip Jose Farmer called “Caught in the Organ Draft”. In the future, to keep senior citizens alive, young people are “drafted” for organ harvest.

If it were legal to buy and sell organs, the organ shortage would go away overnight. People would have more of an incentive to donate their organs when they die to help their family financially.

Complete and utter idiocy. The Whitey House is a freak show.

Colon Labe?

[RatRipper]

Anybody remember the mover “Coma”. Mandatory organ donation is a scary thought if you have seen this movie AND the Federal government is successful in taking over the healthcare industry.

Sunstein will take the rifle and the cold dead hands !

[TMSuchman]

When I pass off this mortal coil, they can have my organs.The problem they are going to have is that they are so polluited from all of the meds & toxins that I have been exposed to during my life that, my organs may not be usable!That should stick in their craw for a while.....

[RuyDiaz]

Oh, for God’s sake.

I don’t normally shout online, but this one merits an exception.

GET OFF SUSTEIN’S CASE. NOW.

This is one remarkably stupidly awful move on Glenn Beck’s part (yes, this is Glenn Beck inspired). Read the whole damned book before you pick your target. Sustein is likely the only moderate among Obama’s ‘Czars’, and that’s the one you are targeting. Brilliant. Not.

The book is called NUDGE. It is available from Amazon and brick-and-mortar bookstores across the nation. You can get it at your local public library fairly easily. Read the whole thing people, before you go away on a fool’s errand.

"In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty. Without taxes there would be no property. Without taxes, few of us would have any assets worth defending. [It is] a dim fiction that some people enjoy and exercise their rights without placing any burden whatsoever on the public fisc."

If your organs were legally yours you could sell them. Try it and see what happens.

[aquila48]

He also tries to make the case that the money you earn is not yours. Here’s one of his quotes.

“In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty. Without taxes there would be no property. Without taxes, few of us would have any assets worth defending. [It is] a dim fiction that some people enjoy and exercise their rights without placing any burden whatsoever on the public fisc. … There is no liberty without dependency.”

Obviously Van Jones was just the tip of the iceberg.

Here is a link to Sunstein’s personal note on “Television and the Public Interest”. California Law Review

http://www.jstor.org/pss/3481228

Sunstein’s comments about the National Association of Broadcasters are rather interesting.

Additionally, I think it is instructive to note his mention of Jurgen Humbermas. Humbermas,
is a philosopher and social theorist at the famous
“Frankfurt School”.

Humbermas coined the term and social philosophy of “Communicative Action”. Here is a link to an explanation: http://www.williams.edu/Economics/papers/Habermas.pdf

There are other explanations of Communicative Action but this document was somewhat helpful for me.

here in California they automatically remove your cornea’s unless you opt out.

They give a BS sticker to place on the back of your license and it just falls off.

But, wait! What if they do not check your license or are unable to? To bad, organ harvesting begins.

This F-ing BS of telling us unless we opt, the government considers our wishes to implied consent!

We have to stop this crap. If we do not explicitly express our desire for something to occur after death then it should not be permissable.

Think of it like this: you have a will that expresses your last will and testament. There are no deviations to this and nothing is assumed that not spelled out.

They should offer a card that you can carry, that enables you to voluntarily donate, otherwise there would be no harvesting.

I mean seriously, what is the difference between grave robbing, pulling gold teeth and taking organs without permission from the dead or their family?

Which is worse? Pulling gold teeth, taking jewelry or swiping organs?

Why?

Why should we even be in the position of asking these questions?
