Did anyone ever see the movie COMA? The premise is that the medical 
profession keeps people on ice and anesthetized so they can remove 
organs and sell them at a profit. Well, don't take this the wrong 
way. People who see through stuff are considered "cynical" in our 
society, whereas people who perpetrate frauds are considered highly 
idealistic and high minded. So I'm not being cynical, but it appears 
the movie has become fact.

This is not cynical, so don't get me wrong, but if you go into a 
surgery and you have a healthy heart and the right blood type, there 
is a substantial financial incentive to make a "mistake" and take 
your heart out and sell it to somebody else. Let's face it, this is 
the age of "compassionate conservatism," in which we invade oil 
producing countries to seize the oil wells for private enrichment and 
in which the Supreme Court elects presidents. "Harvesting" your body 
parts before you are ready to leave the planet is just a pro business 
stance. "You can't be pro jobs and anti business" is the new slogan 
of the age of "compassionate conservatism." So the next time you go 
to the doctor, be sure you have your will made out. Those organs of 
yours may be worth money. A lot of money.

Look for the FDA to outlaw anti business alternative health care, 
heh, heh.
