I haven't a dog in this fight, since I spent so much time in the tropics that not even Dr. Frankenstein would want my liver and lights, but I find it rather telling that Britain has a government that not only believes that our lives are not our own, but that our bodies are only ours by sufferance as well.

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch that applies here?
"You signed your organ donor card, didn't you?"
"Yes, but... (screaming)"
Here it is, from "TheMeaning of Life"
I'll look for the YouTube next.

I feel that, given the circumstances, this is a good idea. We need more organs and we need more organ donors.
HOWEVER! If a system was brought in that paid for people to donate non-essential organs, then I'm sure that this wouldn't be necessary.
And Jayessell: I'm not sure if you noticed, but Monty Python, whilst bloody funny, is not very realistic.
You don't have to worry; they aren't going to be coming in the dead of night with bonesaws. Calm down, dear.
