Cars basically have more effective rights than people.

    Would the salvage value of a hospital patient be from their organs?

    Pretty much.

    There are people whose job is to be dispatched to traffic fatalities, check if they're an organ donor, begin harvesting.

    I mean they go to the hospital, not the crash site, but that’s about right. The alternative is the organs get wasted because too much time passed, and that seems wasteful to me.

    ... Not for motorcyclists.

    Who wore full helmets.

    And have good eyes.

    Gotta get those on ice pretty fast, is what I've been told.

    Almost every motorcyclist I know is against organ donation.

    It’s almost like the medical industry acting like ghouls is driving people away from donation for some reason.

    Oh yeah, the American healthcare industry is so insanely corrupt and broken that uh, guess what?

    There's no ethical healthcare under capitalism.

    If you're a medical professional, and you're willingly any part of this system?

    Nobody cares that its some other part of the bureacracy that's actually the bad guy and you're just doing your job.

    Nope, fuck you, you're just another, willing part of the machine that shackles people into debt slavery and destitution.

    Miss me with your nationalistic bigotry, thanks.

    I very clearly specified what I was talking about.

    If you don't wanna talk about it, don't.

    Yes, for all of those. A procurement specialist isn’t going on site. EMS is recovering the body, getting it to the hospital, and that’s where procurement happens.

    Again, I've been told otherwise, that the...

    ... apparently the preffered term for 'organ harvester' is 'procurement specialist'...

    ... that there are cases, namely where people are more splattered about the scene than a single consistent mass, where such people get dispatched to the scene.

    Sure, the actual organ extraction takes place in a controlled environment, but the first step is getting the good bits secured in a climate controlled container.

    The alternative is that injured people get adequate medical care and a chance to live. A body not being mutilated so someone can steal its organs isn't a waste.

    Here let's try a little thought exercise. A blank person is just a waste of organs. We're better off just taking the organs.

    What does 'blank' have to become for you to staunchly agree,or disagree with that statement? Black, white, young, old, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Chinese, Canadian, American, etc

    Where do you draw the line between a person's organs serving their purpose and being a waste?

    I happened to see this comment first which is great because it means I can ignore everything else you said because this is one of those stupid things troll say. It's about the level of "I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I".

    I'm sure it makes you feel better about yourself, but it's just as stupid as when I get angry and people not reading what I wrote^[I recognize the irony of not reading your other comments and saying this] and bitching at them, which nets even more downvotes because people DEFINITELY don't take the time to read my ranting about them not reading what I wrote in the first place.

    So, I mean, do as you please, but your comment that I quoted is simply bullshit and lame and has nothing to do with anything else you said.
