The loss of private property rights with Marxism includes the loss of control of your most precious private property...your own body. Involuntary altruism inflicted by the state.

How about forcing the removal of a kidney to all those who have over $5000 in tax debt?

This was foretold last April 19 in a Semi-News satire:

Human Tissue Authority Denies Woman’s Deathbed Request

Despite the fact that Laura Ashworth told family and friends she wanted to donate one of her kidneys to her mother, the United Kingdom’s Human Tissue Authority declared that the disposition of the deceased woman’s organs would be determined by normal protocol.

“People may believe that their bodies and organs belong to them,” said Carl Marks, spokesman for the Human Tissue Authority. “But they’d be wrong. It is the collective well-being of the nation is the governing factor. The law has declared that bodies and organs are the public’s resources and appointed us to decide how they will be distributed.”

To emphasize this point, Marks cited the government’s plan to do away with the requirement that people must give their consent for their organs to be “harvested.” “I think this states pretty clearly who owns what and it’s not the individual,” Marks said.

“There are thousands of people on the waiting lists for transplants,” Marks continued. “Why should a person without one functioning kidney suffer when the vast majority have more than they need? Look, we drafted whole bodies to serve the nation during the War. Drafting a kidney, lung, or eye is a lesser burden on the individual than that. It’s the next logical step for the National Health Service.”

Ms. Ashworth’s mother, Rachel Leake, urgently needs a kidney and as a diabetic she could also have benefited from receiving her daughter’s pancreas. Leake says her daughter “would be devastated that she was not able to help her mum.” The daughter’s organs were given to two men and a woman.

Dr. Julian Savulescu and Dominic Wilkinson were heard to comment, off the record of course, “of all the organs we’ve donated we miss our brains the most”.

Wilkinson suggested an even more radical plan – mandatory organ donation.

Another effen socialist demanding. Get lost punk.

General rule: if you’re ever lying flat on your back in an Intensive Care Unit, and a big pink face looms over you that’s attached to a name tage that says “Ethicist,” keep your eyes steadily on him while reaching slowly under your hospital gown for your concealed-carry Glock 30.

Yes, B. It seems to be all around us.

Wagglebee, I'm pinging you, as I think that Mauser may not be on alert.

That's called "irony." Sort of like "Arbeit macht Frei."
