CNS News Service ^ | Friday, September 04, 2009 | Matt Cover

Cass Sunstein, President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), has advocated a policy under which the government would “presume” someone has consented to having his or her organs removed for transplantation into someone else when they die unless that person has explicitly indicated that his or her organs should not be taken.

Under such a policy, hospitals would harvest organs from people who never gave permission for this to be done.

Reminds me of the Monty Python skit.

“We’ve come for your Kidney.”

“But I’m not done with it yet!”

Remember the Monty Python Meaning of Life scene where "they" knock on the door and come to collect the liver of the guy "not done using it yet... I'm not dead..."

Here I thought it was such an absurd, grotesque joke when it was a prediction of the future.

The CNS headline makes it sound like they might remove organs without consent while you’re still alive.

Even though that’s not what they meant to imply, these days you never know...

Some how, this is connected to the NJ Mob of Corruptocrats that were arrested for human organ trafficing. I wonder if the NJ mob is connected to Cas
Sustein? Hmmmm!

Are they going to let the person die first or will they kill them for the good of the masses?

While it may be good public health policy, permitting unconsented organ donation will certainly promote abuse. Maybe not quite as bad as the abuse shown in this gruesome Monty Python "Organ Donor" skit, but in that direction.

More fundamentally, they aren't the government's organs.

“at least in China they shoot you first”

Would you like to wager on that? They harvest organs from the incarcerated while these inmates are alive and kicking.

Heaven help us all. Throw some Holy water on all the czars and obama and see which ones smoke or burst into flame. Start with Sunstein.
