Organ donation

[Captdon]

So, how would you classify the fertility doctors who collect and fertilize dozens of a patient's ovum, then destroy the ones that aren't needed or wanted? Mass murderers?

Yes.

The uterus clearly needs to be regulated more than a firearm.

Ask any conservative who wants the government out of their lives, they'll tell you.

Killing a child is a sick stance. Look who I'm talking to.

Predatory Charity


The donor has just as much right to be paid as the medical personnel do. If I have something that is worth something to others, they better pay me for it, or pay me while I'm alive if they want to take it after I'm dead. "Owe" means being paid in advance. You have nothing to be proud of if you use your own giving to shame others.

I agree with that.

At any rate, I think everyone who has a driver's license should have to register or provide proof of why they should be an exception (like religious exceptions). I have donated bone marrow twice, leukocytes once, and I do not doubt that I will be donating an organ in the next 10-20 years. I do not understand why people do not sign up for registries or organ donation when it is so easy.

Nobody cares what you've donated. You're saying here that if you signed on for it then everyone should sign on, and if they don't they must provide a good excuse.

That is absolutely deplorable.

What, you think you're going to get them into heaven or something for high post mortem standards? Who appointed you moral judge?

I support organ donation, but I oppose making it mandatory.

I did at one time, years ago. I don't any more. I plan to leave here with 100% of my body parts.

We see the killing of a child, though. There's your problem right there.

He seems all in for baby murder.

Interesting that Trump ordered that but I didn't hear about it in the media.

And the research portion? I strongly disagree with the restrictions places on funding innovation, which is primarily how ES cell research is impacted. So much potential is there and the US no longer leads the pack.

I'm a donor and I think everyone should be. I also donate blood and platelets. No bone marrow -- yet.

But, some have religious issues and I don't think we ought to force anyone. Medical personnel are very good these days about broaching the subject of organ donation with family members when a loved one is close to passing or brain dead.

I intend to use my organs to the point where no one would want them after I am done with them.

How are the standards as far as proving you can take care of the organ? You know years sobriety required to get a liver etc. I've heard different things.
