You are sacrificing lives (from the undonated organs) for the benefit of fucking people over (the non-donors) as being worth les
wait, do you think there’s some surplus of organs available? there’s a massive shortage
of course it should be opt-out rather than opt in, but if you opt out (or under the current american system, don’t opt-in) being at the bottom of the list means being at the bottom of the list, not off the list. under no framework would we trash a liver because the only recipient is a clown or selfish prick, they can still have it as long as the queue is empty of prosocial recipients.
What I said was that there should be no option to opt out if we’re going to be kneecapping our medical system for the sake of effectively punishing those who opt out and that’s seemingly the only function permitting opting out could serve. Obviously I don’t think there’s a surplus, my comment was predicated on there being a shortage (being made worse by letting people not donate).
