Is it a common occurance now for the people who have already opted to be donors??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 They shouldn't be taken without consent. It is wrong because it completely disregards a persons right to any beliefs they may have about their body in death, a religious argument per se. I would like people to donate their body parts after death, but I can't ignore their right not to do so and steal their kidney or something. It is unethical. An opt-out clause is better, but some time needs to be allowed before it comes into practice. That cuts out the apathetic views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just that I am amazed at peoples blasé approach to something they obviously haven’t thought about, there as been programs about “gangs” that steal body parts from living people so I am sure obtaining body parts that were harvested wouldn’t be a problem. …………………….. would it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Personally, I think the right to life needs to take presidence over any religious beliefs. I can't agree. If a strong opinion exists that "a body should be whole when it is buried*" then that overrides all the morality about helping a sick person get better. You can impeach the living to consent, you can beg and beg and ask them to reconsider, but you can't steal if they say no. ---- *This idea used to be extremely strong, and the punishment of being hung, drawn and quartered existed so "God couldn't find the soul".

The question is, should you have to opt out of being a donor rather than opt in? If it's already happening then what's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
