Obama Regulation Czar Advocated Removing People’s Organs Without Explicit Consent

How about leaving it like it is now, where a person can request to have their organs donated, otherwise it's a no-go? Now we are talking about an opt-in opt-out system and all of this. What's wrong with what we have?

What's wrong with the system we have now? There aren't enough organs for all those that need them. A system like I described a few posts ago (where you have to state your preference when you become an adult) would certainly increase the number of organs in circulation, which would in turn save lives.

I would rather have the system we have now. Otherwise, hospitals may be tempted to kill people prematurely just to get the organs.

As opposed to killing them after they're dead? :wavey:

No doubt all the parts not recycled to reduce the cost of health care will be ground up to make Soylent Green (or Yellow depending upon your indicated preference).

I hated that movie. It left a bad taste in my mouth.
