I wonder how many people who support the idea of forced organ donation also like to call the people who prefer to be left alone fascists. Donate your own organs and leave me alone.
I mean, all arguing about the pros and cons of organ doning aside, if you don't own your own organs, what the heck do you own? What's to stop some politician from taking your car because you are too irresponsible to wear a seatbelt? Heck, riding motorcycles at all is irresponsible, right? It's not much of a stretch to go from banning the dangerous activity of riding without a helmet to banning riding altogether. In case you didn't notice New Jersey Sen. Corzine wants to ban "distracting activities" while driving. These include using a cell phone, applying make-up, eating, changing a CD and even sillier ideas. There is no limit to the lengths these do-gooders will go if pursuit of their safety jihad.
If the govt can just come in and take your body against your wishes, what's to stop them from taking anything? Answer: nothing.
Oh look, the govt already takes everything without cause. Just look at all the innocent people caught up in illegal seizures based on overblown Drug War or RICO criteria. The law says that criminals can't profit from their activities. So the govt comes in a steals some grandmother's house because, unbeknownst to her, her grandson sold a lid of weed on her porch to a narc. We call this justice?
And people want to give the govt a direct hook into their organs? This is only the tip of the iceberg.
"Pass me another margarita and turn on the Speed Channel, Martha. We can't be bothered with mundane issues of freedom. Only them irresponsible types would refuse to donate organs so I say just take 'em from 'em anyhow. "
