We do not need our bodies once we leave this world regardless of what you think happens after we die. We should be focused on curing diseases and extending the life of living humans. Science would go so far if we used human bodies after death instead of requiring people to give consent to something they don’t need.

          I’m confused by your statements. Are you for or against them pilfering our bodies for usable parts after we die? If me allowing them to do it isn’t even an option, WTF are we even talking about?

            I’m against people deciding to pull the feeding tubes of others to get more organs. At the same time, it’s a ridiculous belief to think they won’t just do that because you don’t consent. If they decide to go that far, your consent doesn’t matter in the least.

              It’s the difference between thinking there’s a tyrannical government and thinking the government is gonna leave you in a seedy motel bath tub full of ice. It doesn’t seem like much but it’s a pretty big gap.

                That’s wishful thinking. How would anyone know that the government decided to pull someones feeding tube & use their organs? You think they can’t control the doctors & coroners? You think just because they don’t have a piece of paper saying “I consent” they can’t fake such a piece of paper?

                  Again, there are big differences. It’s going from minor corruption to full on why does anything matter talk. Why vote when elections don’t matter? Why get a home when they can just take it away? The only thing keeping us human is consent. Again, that’s all that matters. That’s all that rights are.

      No, but I’m still not going to consent. When governments step out of bounds sometimes people give them consequences. Sometimes.
