I see you are using your normal reasoning powers = no reasoning, just your usual insulting approach. You might be interested to know that the NZ government is planning just such an approach to people dead in emergency rooms. People are going to have to OPT OUT if they don't want to be organ donors. I suspect that in reality, you agree with them and I in fact object to the idea of hospitals just taking over bodies [in the absence of agreed debts]. To me, a person's body is part of their estate, owned by the beneficiaries of that estate. Parts should NOT be taken by hospitals for their own profit, as they are now. Parts should be sold by auction by the owners of the parts, which is the beneficiaries aka executors of the estate. I wonder how many anaesthetists have given just a little too much anaesthetic with the hope of increasing their profits by making another corpse available to the organ transplant team waiting keenly to see whether the person survives. Do you know of anyone yourself? At present, the financial incentives are for criminal acts to take place under cover of tragic emergencies, because the organ transplant people get the money, rather than the owners of the organs. It will be much better when any part can be grown from stem cells, cloning the person's own body. Heck, one could grown a whole body and keep it "on ice" in the event of needing some parts replaced. Identical twins can help each other, but only where they have two components, like kidneys. Mqurice
