The Issue

A group of emergency room doctors has petitioned the government to introduce mandatory organ donations.

The Debate

  • "It's not as crazy as it sounds," says Dr. Sue-Ann Nagasawa. "Every day, people die because we don't have the organs to save them. Well, that and widespread under-funding of the health system. But the point is, if the government allowed us to take organs from dead people, we could save hundreds of lives a year. And come on, it's not like dead people need them."

  • "You keep your damn hands off my organs!" says alarmed hospital patient Alexei Han. "They are my organs, and I'll do with them what I like. The government has no right to my body."


You may also vote to dismiss the issue. Discussion of issues is always welcome.

As much as I wish that there was mandatory organ donations, option 2 is my choice. Forcing someone to donate even though they are dead, even though they won't be using them anymore is still a violation of their religious rights and right to do whatever they want with their bodies.
