news Scotland and Canada are (thinking of) changing to "opt out" for organ

someone after your death who could have been saved by your body
parts? And
no I dont care if you have some crazy religion.

Organ donation should still be optional, but with two provisos:

- the assumption is that unless you are on record as saying no, it
should be
presumed that you agree to donate

- your next of kin has no right to countermand your wishes and
withhold
their permission even though you have said that you want to donate:
their
permission should not even be sought



Legally they have all the rights. Once youre dead (or brain dead)
you have
no rights.

I think even Republicans should have rights.

You're too soft. I can imagine someone coming at you with a knife, and
instead of shooting them, you'd try to reason with them.

I would try to reach their hearts and minds. Double tap to the heart and
one in the head for insurance. Can't be too careful with all the body
armor around these days.

That reminds me of a theif's slogan: Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch.
