When I rule the world...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

...organ donation will not be an option. If you do not want your organs donated in the event of your death, you will pay a hefty fee that will be given to medical research facilities.

If you're afraid that the paramedics are going to let you die because they want to harvest you for organs then you're an idiot. If you're just so selfish that you would rather other people die because you want the potential to save other lives to rot in the ground with you, then you're a twit. If your religious values strictly prohibit you from doing so, then you'll pay to help further medical science.

I'll contract some organ-degenerative decease like blood-poisoning whence I get as old as to stuff in the old towel then. :oops:

My organs are mine, and what's mine is mine.

Besides... when you become king of the world, organ-donation will have been outmoded as the useless antiquated old technology that it is, replaced by nano-tech bio-molecule builders, enhanced growth terapeuthic cloning.

Hence eliminating the need for immuno-represant life-long medication.

And you'll be regarded as yet another back-water old-timer dictator. :p :lol:

And if it turns out there IS a god, you'll be royally screwed without your organs when the resurrection comes... :lol:

By the way, most people die of old age... by then your organs aren't worth using as dogfood. And in case of accidents or diseases there is a good chance the organ is damaged or infected... so even if all people would give their organs up for use, it wouldn't help that much.

Btw, every time I think about being an organ donor, that skecth from Python's "Meaning of life" comes to my mind. You have to see that one... :lol:

I'm an organ donor. My lungs and liver are probably useless to anyone but I've had my eyes refurbished and I'd like my brain to go to a good cause.

Bodily resurrection, yes plenty of people believe it. That your organs need to be in your body for it to happen, only nutters believe it.

So, wait, does that take into account being decomposed into a pile of goo after a couple of months and the fact that you're buried beneath six feet of dirt while being encased in a sealed copper box that is, beyond that, sealed in a concrete box? Because David Copperfield couldn't get out of that.

I am quite surprised that this is even an issue. I don't really understand why you don't want to be an organ donor.

What if you or someone you love (husband, sister, children) gets so ill that they need a replacement organ and they die because there is none available?

And what about blood donation?
I think I will try that again next year; I was banned for five years because the first blood donation I did made me faint and be ill, so the doctors told me to wait a few years before trying again.

I was recently banned from blood donation due to the fact that I lived in Greece from 1983 to 1986. Apparently they think I have Mad Cow Disease.


Pisses me off, I want to help people and I cant.

That is frustrating yes. I really wanted to be a blood donor too, and then they give me a five-year ban! :(

It's bollocks really. There's no way in hell you can have Mad Cow Disease.

You're far more likely to be incubating CJD.
Grrr. Argh.

Mad Cow disease, just like the chicken influenza nowdays, are not as dangerous as they were told. The media really created a histery around these, when actually, what, 100 people died worldwide? And 60 of these in China...

And Prof., I was obviously joking. No way bodily resurrections will require your body intact.

But I'll still won't have my body burned... You know, just in case I need to come back... :twisted:

I'm banned from giving blood because I received a blood transfusion a couple of years back (though the ban would still apply if it were as far back as 1980!)

It's sad, but since I donated blood once and got stuck about thirteen times with the needle, I don't want to. Which means that I use my six weeks in England as an excuse.

But yes, it's stupid not to be an organ donor. And I would love to experiment on Emvee's brain.
