Discussion: Organs

Should you be unable to be placed on a list to receive an organ if you are not a donor?

  1. Should you be unable to receive a liver transplant if you were a heavy drinker? Heart or lung if you are a smoker? The correct answer (and yes, there is only one right answer to this stupid question) is NO!

    Besides, if all you have to be is a donor, then who wouldn't sign up to become one upon learning that's the only way to get an organ? Or would such an insane regulation (I assume that's what the question implies, that the state -your GOD- would get to decide who lives and dies if the question is answered in the affirmative) apply in such a way as to prohibit getting an organ if you weren't previously an organ donor during a specified number of previous years before you became ill?

    The real solution is the free market. Get the state's filthy hands out of health care completely.

  2. I don't really understand why you should get to decide what happens to your body after you're dead. You're dead at that point. I can understand the implications for end of life care or potentially terminal people, but it's simple, assume everyone who doesn't have a DNR wants all life saving care possible.

    So your body after death should just be up for grabs? If someone wants to take it and turn it into a lawn ornament, or make Soylent Green out of it, you're fine with that?

  4. How is a "free market" in organs going to do anything but promote organ harvesting of poor people?

    Did you come up with this idea while beating one of your slaves? Oh wait, that's right, you didn't think one second about it, you just pulled the same answer out of your ass that all libertarian/anarchist/conservatives keep wedged up there.

  5. If they're mega-rich or a celebrity, they should go to the front of the line regardless. You know, because they're more important than we are.

    What slaves are you referring to? I'm a slave myself. And you love slavery and want even heavier government chains on everyone.


    you just pulled the same answer out of your ass

    The non-aggression principle is based on objective facts of reality. The expert at pulling answers from his ass is you (as you have no consistent philosophy that governs your very undisciplined mind). At least I don't pull whole posts supporting the murder of infants out of my ass.
