No thank you!!
This “organ-harvesting” stuff reminds me somewhat of what the Japanese did during the war. When they wanted “meat”, they’d cut limbs off their prisoners and cook them. They kept their prisoners alive as they harvested parts, so their “meat” wouldn’t spoil.
For real? Were there any survivors?
“For real? Were there any survivors?”
Evidently, and it’s certainly believable and maybe helps explain why lots of people returning from the Pacific weren’t able to even talk about what they experienced.
This is from Wikipedia (Cannibalism), I also saw it History Channel, PBS, or something like it.
“In his book Flyboys: A True Story of Courage, James Bradley details several instances of cannibalism of World War II Allied prisoners by their Japanese captors.[91] The author claims that this included not only ritual cannibalization of the livers of freshly killed prisoners, but also the cannibalization-for-sustenance of living prisoners over the course of several days, amputating limbs only as needed to keep the meat fresh.”
How do we say “No” to organ-harvesting euthanasia? I can’t even get my friends to listen to the facts, much less comprehend the danger.
Americans are in the stew pot, and the temperature of the water is rising. Most of us just don’t seem to notice or care.
Every day a new atrocity is committed against our republic and its citizens. The President rules by executive order, the Supreme Court surrenders at the threats of the the President’s enforcers, the people are being spied upon in their own land by eyes in the sky, human bodies are being used as spare parts inventory—where does it stop?
**Euthanasia is not such a bad word anymore. In fact, the medical practice of prematurely declaring a person as clinically dead is widespread in the West; especially when the patient is an organ-donor.**
So don’t be an organ donor.
**Euthanasia is not such a bad word anymore.**
Don’t people realize that euthanasia is KILLING their elders?
Another case of life imitating art - or simply a movie slightly ahead of its time. Coma (1978, MGM).
But the medical-industrial complex would NEVER allow money to influence their death-panel decisions.
Honest.
I wonder if I could put a sticker on the back of my driver’s license that would say somethng to the effect that I forbid my organs from being removed from my body at any time for any reason without my specific verbal permission at the time of wanting to remove them. I know I would need a rather large driver’s license to fit all this in, but you get my drift.
You knew this was going to happen.
There should be a solution for this in carrying an “Organs are not suitable for transplant” card.
There are several diseases that make organs unsuitable, and the only way they can confirm it is by checking for antibodies. If they find them, then the organs are useless, because whoever they are transplanted into would get the disease, *while* they are taking post transplant immune suppression drugs.
However, just because you have the antibodies, does not mean you have actually had the disease. It could just mean that you were given an antigen, that stimulated an immune response like for the disease.
Because the government and others now has open access to all our medical records, a person would likely have to leave the US briefly “to catch this disease” (get an antigen shot), and back in the US, ask your doctor to annotate it into your medical file.
I suppose the downside to this is that even if they don’t want to kill you to take your organs, they probably still want to kill you on general principles. Or lack of principles. Or ethics. Or human decency.
And another that got the Brazilians upset "Turistas"
Before that, back in the 70s I read a Sci-Fi story where the State was "harvesting" criminals, and when they started running low, just lowered the death penalty. Our hero was condemned because he had seven parking tickets. Then China announced they would use executed criminals for this purpose.
I backed out of the organ donor driver's license thingy after that as Sci-Fi was becoming a reality.
So don’t be an organ donor.

You don’t/won’t have a choice.....
Welcome to the coming Ameristahn.
When I first heard about this I immediately removed the organ donor sticker from my driver’s license and fortunately I was due to renew my license and had the DMV remove me from the organ donor list. The first times I heard about how a person would still be alive when organs were “harvested” was when there was a young man on TV who had suffered a head injury. He appeared to be “brain dead” and his family was debating donating his organs. He could hear everything going on around him including the doctor’s explanation of the process. He was unable to respond and terrified he was going to be “murdered.” Somehow he responded and his “death” by euthanasia was canceled and he’s now “alive” and well. Scary stuff.
Let’s call it what it really is. Murder and torture, if the procedure is done on a ‘still alive’ patient.
I wonder if Terri Shiavo was an organ donar. Hmmm.....
“The surgical procedure would be a form of euthanasia. We could call it ‘organ-donation euthanasia’.”
So I take it that everyone on this thread is against organ donation and transplant?
The wntire organ donation thing is demented and juzt more doctors plaging God and putting supreme importance on physical life rather than spiritual. What a bunch ovf too smart idiots.
