Organ Donation - Young v Old

Many people have expressed support for the opt-out requirement on another thread, and somehow conflate it with the needs of sick children.

So let me turn this around a bit -

How would you feel if there was another scheme that compulsorily euthanased retired people in order to provide organs for children.

I know it isn't what is being proposed, but I just want a few viewpoints - and you can't dress it up with "I'd hope . . . " - you have to choose between your parents and a kid at the other end of the country.

There is turning something around and then there is taking it out of the ballpark, on a bus to the train station and booking a ticket on the Eurostar.

Why just stop at pensioners? we could re-introduce the death penalty for certain crimes and harvest organs from prisoners as they did in China.

Personally I think the OP's had a brain fart an wish them a speedy recovery.

I suspect there's quite a few old folks out there who'd gladly accept euthanasia and organ donation if a child were the guaranteed recipient, that the operation was a guaranteed success and that the increased life expectancy for the child was a certain number of years.

Fortunately oldies do not have lots of desirable organs. Younger people do.

It could be cost effective to give away powerful motorcycles to the under 40s.

Exactly. Or any other group that were considered by the legislators to be less important.

Obviously I'm not advocating it.

Ha ha, it was actually six years before I was born (thanks IMDB) but surprisingly few people have gotten the reference.
