    Not condoning this by any means, but everyone ought to be an organ donor. I find the people who refuse on the grounds of “I don’t like the idea of my organs being harvested…” are demonstrating insufferable selfishness. Multiple lives can be saved from one donor. And you’ll be dead anyway! You won’t care then…

    Especially all bikers should be mandatory organ donors.

      Fully agree and am an organ donee since I won’t be needing them anyhow. I know your agreed with me but I’ll say it again for others who might be confused.

      The issue is consent here, I know a lot of people don’t understand that word but the issue is he nor his family said they could have the heart, but the heart was taken anyway.

          I specifically said I wasn’t justifying what happened here. My point was just an aside on the importance of organ donation.

          I don’t condone stealing people’s organs. What happened here was clearly fucked up.

      Eh, respecting peoples’ bodily autonomy isn’t that difficult. Not doing so causes way more problems in the world so far as I see it.

      That article needs to compare those statistics with other types of events. I suspect it may just be from an increase in population during events.
