Actually Martyr you can do a direct donation and usually it is either done side by side or in 2 operating rooms at the same time.

This is why all my organs are from endangered animals (and baboons). Also all this back stabbing talk makes me quite glad I wear the 'kidney blocker 2000'.

Martyr has voiced the best point I've seen so far.

With that in mind, I want to amend my earlier suggestion: IQ tests should be mandatory for being an organ donor, and screening to remove sociopaths should be mandatory for recipients.

And now the evil part of me is jumping up and down and screaming, "if the IQ score is too low make them donate ALL their organs at the same time!"

I'd hire that fat obnoxious bitch from Operation Repo and have them go repossess my kidney.

It aint no joke, if you don't pay that note.

This is turning into a bad horror movie script where you have to collect your organs from people as revenge.

Like Repo, the genetic musical.

She also had the option to say "no" or quit the job at any time. Sure in a tough economy it sucks to find a job, but you always have that choice. You just have to ask yourself where is your breaking point. Believe me, I have been at the breaking point a couple times in my life and had to make the tough call.

According to the story she was fired after a week. So it isn't like she put up with years of the abuse, or even grew accustom to it.

Funk that- I would call up Jude Law from Repo Men.

nope, I meant donor. If you aren't mentally competent enough to make an informed decision about giving away bits of your body, you shouldn't be giving them away- for two reasons. First, if you're this stupid, you're going to be taken advantage of by the above-mentioned evil fuckers. Second, if you're stupid enough to put yourself in this position, potential recipients- evil or not- should be worried about how well you have maintained any part of your body.

[supersloth]

let people make their own stupid decisions who cares.

[ishkabible]

in the distant future, Either my mom or me will actually donate a kidney to my uncle. my uncle and mom are twins and they have a perfect 6/6 match(whatever that is), and I have a 5/6 match with him and we're all type O. he has a somewhat rare kidney disease(rare enough that job Hopkins waves his medical fees to study the disease) so we know that he will need one eventually.

most people that have to be on a waiting list die waiting on the organ and your chances of getting a better match than your sibling, child, or other close reality are slim. the fact that her boss got a donor is already amazing; and then he/she fires their donor!?!?

so why not just let natural selection take it's coercecourse? we're getting more and more dumb becuase we're protecting stupidity, I'm sick of it; we need to let stupid people kill themselves so we stop regressing.

edit:
sterilizing people with IQs under 95, that's something I can get behind.

Um, I really hope you're joking there.

Eugenics, unintentionally hilarious.

Screw that, sterilize all under 130.

Scratch that, sterilize all.

The evil suggestion to take care of this was in the post before the one you replied to: if somebody fails too miserably on the IQ test given for this, take all of their organs at once. We'd be out an idiot, have one sad family, save at least one life per critical organ, benefit perhaps a dozen others with the non-critical organs, and very likely save society hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars by decreasing the frequency at which stupid shit happens in daily life for each person.

An evil suggestion, as I said.

[fromTheSprawl]

But what if it happens on someone you love? And they fail said IQ test?

Anyway, if what you're proposing happens, then I guess if they fail their relatives or friends might come in to give them a kidney. I wonder why the boss in this thread didn't get one from her relatives. Oh.
