If Passed In Albany, Law Would Be First Of Its Kind In The United States

Organ donation has become a vital way to save lives around the world, but a vast shortage of donors continues to mean people are losing their lives while on waiting lists.

But there is a unique proposal that could change all that.

You know I have nothing against Organ donation, there is little doubt that the program saves lives but taking government mandates to harvest our organs that is a bit too far down the Liberal slippery slope.

Now when you context this with the government takeover of Healthcare and the push for computerized medical records it gets extremely scary and not very far-fetched to imagine a future that when one of our elite masters needs an organ transplant a quick database search for DNA and blood type match will result in an untimely accident (wink) for an Obamacare patient?

Will the citizens of New York State be justly compensated for the state seizing their organs?

If the government knows your medical life, they can ORDER you to donate “non vital” parts.

The government now owns your body too.

Think about this question:

Now that there will be no “organ shortage” what will their excuse be when they start denying transplants to all those on the lists?

Because the money is NOT there. That is why there are lists in the first place.

You will be able to opt out, supposedly.
“To fix that, Brodsky introduced a new bill in Albany that would enroll all New Yorkers as an organ donor, unless they actually opt out of organ donation. It would be the first law of its kind in the United States.”

Open the organ donation program to free enterprise, and pay the survivors for the organs. The market will be flooded.

The statists have put on market controls and set the price for organs (to the donor) of $0, and guess what they created-—a shortage!

Not too hard to figure out a real solution.

I’ve heard that particular organ is a little uncomfortable up under the rib cage.

This is VERY clever.

Once we have socialized medicine, it will be a good thing that more people are being denied treatment and dying, because we’ll always have a piping hot pile of fresh organs or other people to (think they’re going to) get.

Brodsky introduced a new bill in Albany that would enroll all New Yorkers as an organ donor, unless they actually opt out of organ donation.

Next step, remove the opt out.

Third step, implement the Chinese model, condemned prisoners are mandatory donors, just like the citizens.

And like China, hate speech is a capital offense.
