Yet, you apparently don't have any problems seeing them as slaves to society. You seem willing to take things away from people who can use them while they're alive. But you get all prudish about taking something useless away from them after they're dead?Originally posted by milefile
No. I think it's very twisted to see humans as parts.

Odd. Isn't that a little... self-centered?

Maybe there's hope for you yet.
Boy, well, I'm glad that's settled. But if I may ask:Originally posted by milefile
I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANYBODY, ANY THING, AND GIVE TO ANYBODY ELSE, SAID THING, FOR ANY REASON, WHETHER THEY ARE ALIVE, OR DEAD.
Because of my profession, my beliefs, and just 'cuz I think it's the right thing to do, I am an organ donor, and a proponent of organ donation.Originally posted by milefile
I'm not an organ donor. I don't see the body as a mass of interchangeable parts, and I don't think it becomes one even after one dies. If a member of my family died it would haunt me for ever that they were sliced up and distributed.

That is consoling, and satisfies some of what bothers me about it.Originally posted by Gil
Mile,
Don't think of them as dead and "parted out". Think of it as part of my loved one, lives on in another.
That too.I hope that it would comfort my family that my big heart is still beating in somebody's chest, that my big brown eyes are seeing the world still with someone else.
This is the part I can't reconcile.This body is no more than a vessel for the "essence" of me.
How should I know? I'll let those who actually want it figure it out.Originally posted by neon_duke
Boy, well, I'm glad that's settled. But if I may ask:
How do you intend to pay for universal health care so you don't have to tell anybody they will die?
(hopefully that was written with little enough emphasis - wouldn't want to be thought obnoxious again)

when im dead, i wanna donate my organs, especially if my organ will be saving a family member. it won't be of any use to me anyway. but i don't think my parents are gonna allow me.
