Yep and government does a better job of not polluting water. lols.

What's "17,000 containers of radioactive waste, 19 ships containing radioactive waste, 14 nuclear reactors, including five that still contain spent nuclear fuel; 735 other pieces of radiactively contaminated heavy machinery, and the K-27 nuclear submarine with its two reactors loaded with nuclear fuel." between friends? lols.

At least if a company did this they would be forced to clean it up and someone would go to jail. Government does it without care or consequence.

You made this up. According to you only old sick people donate and poor people will commit suicide. Really? Every single person who would normally donate won't except the old and sick? What color is the sky where you live?

If he's senile what does that make you? Brain dead or just someone who has no problem making things up and deceitfully passing it off as the truth?

We're not the lemmings who believe the constant lies politicians tell and keep doing the same things over and over yet expect different results. If you want to find out who does, look in the mirror. We hold people accountable.
But keep making things up if it helps you sleep at night.

In fact, their organs will be a liability because after an expensive transplant surgery and recovery, these organs will soon fail. If a lot of people begin selling one of their kidneys for cash, they themselves will have a higher risk of kidney failure later.

What has the free market done to the price of oil? LOL!
Do you ever watch the news or were you in a coma the past decade? How did bypassing the free market do for Housing? LOL!!

The free market drove the price way down in electricity where I live. ~ Five years ago we were paying as much as 17 cents a KWH, now its almost half that.
Unless you know what you're talking about it's smart to keep quiet. I'm not saying you'll do that, just that it's smart.

Your entire point is that donated peoples organs are bad. Guess what, that's the only way we are doing it now. Hellllooooooooooo

Your message has been people shouldn't sell their organs but now your advice is "You could have offered them cash" LMAO Keep posting I can use the laughs.

FYI, body organs and kilowatts are not the same. Again, donated organs have no value until after a person is dead and then, they only have value if a person is brain dead while the heart and lungs are supported to circulate these organs. This eliminates most of the organs of people who volunteered to donate.

Would you want a heart transplanted into you from a person who was found dead?

No one said they were. That's another thing you're making up. My comment was on your false statement that the free market raises prices.

Again you deflected from commenting on your absurd statement. A donated organ is no different than one sold for cash. Prove otherwise.

What I want is for you to quit going to Happy hour before you post. What does any of this have to do with your false premise that donated organs are much more useable and cash organs are not? You can't because like I said it's an absurd premise.
