Comment on Donors of bone marrow can now be paidparent

That is the purpose of the government but you do agree that certain policies can make accomplishing that purpose much much harder, maybe even impossible?

A nice car is not a good analogy since 1) buying one is a matter of choice and 2) kidnapping someone for a nice car is not likely to get someone seriously injured or killed (as long as one agrees to the kidnapper's demands) whereas kidnapping for organ donation is completely different.

You know, you only live so long. It's not as if you have an indefinite amount of time and money over the course of your life.

If you work for years and save to buy that nice car, and someone steals it from you, someone has taken part of your life away. Even if the blow is distributed across a lot of people via an insurance policy, this is still true.
