It says nothing like that... Are you now going to be "faux-outraged" over the proposal? After all, your dead, why do you care if people have sex with you, or cut you up for food?

Why I propose we should just start to feed dead people to cows to fatten them up..!!!

Whats the matter? You'll of couse will be able to opt out

So much to do about nothing. This simply changed from an "opt in" system to an "opt out" system. All this really says that you want to be a donor when you die. It's not a mandate, you closest living will still be required to approve the donation.

Sadly, I know this from experience.

Great idea, having to wait 4½ years while on dialysis myself for a kidney transplant
I was very grateful when a kidney became available. There's an old saying that goes
something like this, don't take your organs to Heaven with you, Heaven knows we need
them here.

Oh, and stick to the subject, re: forcing people to donate their private organs without their consent.
Hey, illegals can simply opt out of going to Arizona.
Gays can simply opt out of living in states without gay marriage laws.
Tax payers can simply opt out of paying taxes.
People without health care, can simply opt out of the federal health care bill, requiring care..

Hey, whats the problem here!!!

You're not making any sense at all. Those are some massive leaps in logic you're making. You haven't even made a coherent statement of why this bill is so horrible.

If people don't rise up against this in NY, I don't know. I would say this is typical Democrat response to a system that's broken. But this time, instead of just throwing money at the problem, they want to invade your body. Perhaps tomorrow they will decide you have two kidneys, why not just take the other one while you are still alive? I can't believe anyone in office is even remotely considering it.

When you tell me why liberals dont support

Illegals can simply opt out of going to Arizona.
Gays can simply opt out of living in states without gay marriage laws.
Tax payers can simply opt out of paying taxes.
People without health care, can simply opt out of the federal health care bill, requiring care..

I'll tell you whats wrong with this bill. The fact that you need someone to tell you that your body doesnt belong to the government, and they have no authority to write a law to say that they have the authority to determine what to do with YOUR body, then I dont know what to tell you!
