Organ donation.

[Dont Panic]

I dont know about this one, I can understand the need for organs and also the need to get them fast to save others, but thats tempered with the thought that government has basically just declared ownership of you.
I know this all started way back with the Gordon of Brown fellow, but I dont like the idea that its deemed fine to just claim your body parts are theirs.

Whether my organs are any good to anyone else isnt clear, It dosnt sit easily with me.

Ive nothing against organ donation, it clearly gives life to those who would otherwise die but thats not where I was coming from.

In my opinion you shouldnt have to opt out of something like that, its the presumed consent aspect and its implications of some kind of ownership by the state that Im uneasy with, ownership of a human. Simple as that.

Well thank you for the clarification.

We are entitled to judge you a bit of a loon based on your expression of that opinion.

Im a loon because I stated feeling uneasy that the PTB have claimed ownership of every man woman and child?
I thought I was free to be able to make the choice whether to be altruistic or not.
Theyve removed that choice and have said they can do what they want unless you say otherwise. That makes me concerned not a loon.

If you feel strongly enough about it, please do opt out.

Can I opt out of paying taxes as well?

randlemarcus said:

I assume that opting out also preludes you consuming organs donated by others, or would you consider rank hypocrisy something you would be fine with?

Id be ok with that. Im sure there are thousands of more deserving cases than me. Id rather they went to those who really need them.
Is that the kind of hypocrisy you were ranting on about?

Youve entirely missed the point of what im bothered about and decided to go full retard, lets hope brain transplants arent in the offing, pity the poor sap.

Why so much slating going on? I didnt start this thread to discuss the merits of organ donation, asset grabs or to have it jacked by insults.

Im fine with organ donation ,they can yank my willy off if they want and tape it to a stick if it pleases.

Theres just something not right about presuming consent when its not been asked, I never saw any consultation, as I said it implies ownership. Thin end of a wedge to my mind.
