A federal lawsuit filed Thursday by Brandon Dotson's family says that when his body was returned to his family, it was missing a heart and was in a state of decomposition.
Not condoning this by any means, but everyone ought to be an organ donor. I find the people who refuse on the grounds of “I don’t like the idea of my organs being harvested…” are demonstrating insufferable selfishness. Multiple lives can be saved from one donor. And you’ll be dead anyway! You won’t care then…
Fully agree and am an organ donee since I won’t be needing them anyhow. I know your agreed with me but I’ll say it again for others who might be confused.
The issue is consent here, I know a lot of people don’t understand that word but the issue is he nor his family said they could have the heart, but the heart was taken anyway.
Are you directing this at me? If so, a swing and a miss.
I do not feel entitled to your organs. I feel that people ought to donate them, and that those who do not donate are inherently selfish.
Big difference. Be a decent human being and share your organs when you die, so that others can live. Let’s use analogy so you can see how inherently selfish this is.
Suppose you have eaten until you’re full and decide you don’t want the rest. Since you have no more use for the food, you will throw it away in your garbage can at home.
But then you come across 3 or 4 other people who are starving to death, and your food makes the difference between life and death for them.
Do you feel morally compelled to stop and share this food, which has no more use for you? Do you feel like a piece of shit imaging driving past them to throw the food away in your garbage can?

Especially all bikers should be mandatory organ donors.

And I bet someone made money from it, too. It wasn’t just to save someone’s life.
I specifically said I wasn’t justifying what happened here. My point was just an aside on the importance of organ donation.
I don’t condone stealing people’s organs. What happened here was clearly fucked up.
Eh, respecting peoples’ bodily autonomy isn’t that difficult. Not doing so causes way more problems in the world so far as I see it.
That’s funny I consider another person who feels entitled to my organs to be insufferably selfish.

That article needs to compare those statistics with other types of events. I suspect it may just be from an increase in population during events.
