I would like to propose a law that requires registration for organ donations, and if paid for by a recipient, duplicate organs like kidneys and lungs can be seized via eminent domain. At the end of life, all your organs can be harvested, and be distributed to the highest bidder.
Alternatively, we can pass a law that says no one has dominion over your body but you, and may not use any part of your body without your absolute consent.
@trinsec the 2nd alternative is not an extreme case. The individual has a choice they can make. Donate or not. Any organ, any time they wish. I think the extreme case for the 2nd option is regulations saying they may not let anyone else use their body parts. Even the 1st option could go further... any infractions and you go straight to the organ banks.
@JonKramer Oh I didn't mean extreme sides in that meaning. Sorry, I meant extreme opposites of each other.
The latter was formerly the case for us as well, but we had a shortage and most people were actualy too lazy to fill in the organ form to apply as organ donor (I know I'm one of them). Now that we don't have to do that anymore, the religious people and otherwise not liking this can just fill in the form if it's really that important to them not to be an organ donor.
@trinsec yes, I intentionally went for opposition. To highlight why rights are important. And to level the playing field when it comes to biological sex.
@JonKramer Well, it's quite an extreme opposition, there's always a middle ground. :D
@trinsec I think the only middle ground is "your body, your choice, no exceptions."
@JonKramer Mm, 2 extreme sides.
Here, it's implied that everybody is an organ donor unless you sign a form saying you don't want to donate organs. And there won't be a thing like 'highest bidder'.
