Would the salvage value of a hospital patient be from their organs?
Pretty much.
There are people whose job is to be dispatched to traffic fatalities, check if they're an organ donor, begin harvesting.
I mean they go to the hospital, not the crash site, but that’s about right. The alternative is the organs get wasted because too much time passed, and that seems wasteful to me.
The alternative is that injured people get adequate medical care and a chance to live. A body not being mutilated so someone can steal its organs isn't a waste.
Here let's try a little thought exercise. A blank person is just a waste of organs. We're better off just taking the organs.
What does 'blank' have to become for you to staunchly agree,or disagree with that statement? Black, white, young, old, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Chinese, Canadian, American, etc
Where do you draw the line between a person's organs serving their purpose and being a waste?
Lol down votes with no rebuttal comments means the truth is being told
I happened to see this comment first which is great because it means I can ignore everything else you said because this is one of those stupid things troll say. It's about the level of "I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I".
I'm sure it makes you feel better about yourself, but it's just as stupid as when I get angry and people not reading what I wrote^[I recognize the irony of not reading your other comments and saying this] and bitching at them, which nets even more downvotes because people DEFINITELY don't take the time to read my ranting about them not reading what I wrote in the first place.
So, I mean, do as you please, but your comment that I quoted is simply bullshit and lame and has nothing to do with anything else you said.
