I know you were talking about heart transplants JBR, but if it was became compulsory, where might it end?
You may not object to a heart donation, but how would you feel about other body parts being taken?
For example, think more long term that just today.How would we feel about surgeons wanting to take your wife or child's genitals?
Or even more gruesome, what about removing a loved one's face or head, for experimental purposes?
It will happen in the future, would you feel equally generous about permitting that?
That is one big question. However, at that point there will probably not be any option, everyone will have had their 'choice 'removed.
They've already done head transplants on animals.
I do wonder if some of these statistics are accumulated to back up a cause and in this case, for making compulsory organ donations . Which raises another question; if organs are collected on a daily basis , nation wide .
a) where are they going to store them all ?
b) do they really need so many organs ?
I see it as another 'retail' business for world wide trade , and that I DO object to.
One other point is, I will not donate my organs as I have had cancer.
There are also people who have received organs from people who had cancer, but did not know at the time. One donor with cancer affected 4 individuals, 3 of them died from breast cancer.
All very questionable.
