@ProudMary When I said "I am an Atheist" my MIL reacted with a horrified look on her face and saying "What? I am very religious". My answer to her was "That's is only one of your problems." I was applauded by several relatives...for being the first and only putting her on her place. It only takes one time to fix arrogant people.

Well, since I don't live there I won't vote. Fortunately, the pro-choicers are very active and the feeling is the bill will pass. The sad side of the activism is those who openly are asking for legal abortion are being harassed, threatened and even some have been hurt. Thanks for the suggestions.

Do you speak Spanish? If you do get the videos of the Spanish News and listen to 1) the countless times Obama was called "Deportation Chief" for deporting more illegals than any other president as well as for separating kids from their parent...and 2) also countless times, about the number of kids separated from their parents at the Mexico-Guatemala border...or 3) listen to them about the border between Mexico and Guatemala... See, the Spanish news adooooooores Obama but regardless of such love it will tell you what he did. BTW: If you don't speak Spanish find a liberal friend who does and ask him/her to translate.

Doubt this person is a troll. At lvl 7.6 must be a persistant one. It goes both ways. Obama got a lot of shit about his trips. Not much is said about his golfing trips, and visits to Mar A Lago. I'm sure that is billed by the govt, and he ends up keeping it somehow.

You don't believe in god, or an afterlfe. What do you need your (soon to be decomposing) body parts for? Help someone live you selfish shit! Lol ?

The Dutch are working on this as well: https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/14/health/new-dutch-law-organ-donors-bn-intl/index.html I think it's a great step in the right direction. People tend to assume the worst when something like this happens while in reality those arguments are simply illogical ...
DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:
@mattersauce No, dear, is not based on fear but in knowing very well / not trusting the people. I laugh at people who say "show some statistics". LOL Like certain governments will keep tabs. ...pleeeeeeeeeeease Let me put it this way to you: I won'[ t visit Argentina during a Peronist administration.

This is coming in the UK too (I think the Welsh parliament already has it). The trouble is that doctors will still seek consent from the family. So if you are a registered donor (we do so on our driving licence), Please make sure your next of kin knows and is ready to give consent on your behalf.
DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:
@273kelvin I hope you are right...See, I am not an organ donor because laws like this one can lend itself to corruption.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:
@mattersauce First...I am not an idiot...so don't dismiss my concern about a government and/or mentality you don't know anything about. See, if the government changes...and we get a populist one such as Venezuela's ...or Mexico soon to be....anything could happen. Sure, people die by the second waiting for organs (Justina Lo Cano's case) but it doesn't mean this type of law is the solution. The way I see it organ trafficking has taking a new turn. You should watch the movie "Coma"(1970s) to get a bit of flavor on this issu e.

I often wonder why some men do it...especially without thinking it through.... Firstly you will put the girl on the spot in public..leaving her embarrassed and possibly humiliated.. Secondly she could say NO.. Leaving both of you embarrassed and humiliated...
DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:
@Hitchens This morning I called my friend and asked a detail that worried me deeply....yes, he even went down on his knee to propose.. Pathetic.

MsAl comments on Jul 5, 2018:
I heard about the opt out rather than opt in way before and think it is better. It would save lives and cut down on organ theft, as well as some of the other dishonest scammy organ buying practices that go in in some poorer places. You can always opt out if you are against it.

My friend's son is so narcissistic he will never think she would say "NO". The fact is she didn't say NO or YES. Few days later she told him NO.

If you can opt out I guess I ok with it. A person should be able to control what is done with their body.

Under Justine Lwe now you have to state on writing that you wish to opt-out....otherwise you are in. Period.

If opting out is easy, I'm OK with this. You're dead, ffs. It would be easy to screw this up, though. Not sure how far I'd trust Argentinian government enforcement. But the concept sounds all right to me .

Is your concern that your organs might be harvested before you are done with them so that some other person with more wealth and power might use them? That would be my concern, that the system would be corrupted and the power abused.

Dear...the "bad" business are a lot more common in rich countries than in the poorer ones....See, they go where the money is. No, the opt-out part of the law doesn't convince me. Another, the criminals will find a way to profit. I rather like the opt-in chance.

@Marionville Isn't obvious? A rich guy needs a hearth and a poor person -who had a car accident is "ambulnced" to the hospital in critical stage....Oh, surprise, the poor dude dies and he is compatible with the rich guy....and this type of "incidents" becomes quite common. See, a transplants lives the hospital a lot more money than the amount any insurance would pay to bring back to health the victim of a car accident.

Since there's an option for opting out, I don't see a problem. And it certainly saves precious time wasted trying to convince next of kin to agree to donation.

Paul4747 comments on Jul 5, 2018:
This rubs me the wrong way, just because it takes it out of a person's hands and puts the power in the state's. That government is best which governs least, and when it comes to your body, dead or alive, not at all. If you want, give the family the power to make the decision after death.
DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:
The law about the family giving consent is already in the books; it was sanctioned decades ago...Now, I imagine it will be derogated

Denker comments on Jul 5, 2018:
It's like that here in the Netherlands as well. The most disturbing thing is that this altered the qualification about when death occurs, for some organs to be effectively harvested they have to come out before decay starts which is quite early in the dying process.
DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:
Who is there to tell me that certain organs were not harvested while the person was still alive? The movie "Coma" (1970s) should be played again.
