Given your raising this scandal is in the context of a conversation about whether or not doctors remove human tissue against the wishes of the dead, it can only be viewed as a rebuttal to jonnyrovers' patient explanation of how things work today and will work tomorrow with 'opt out'. The...
I don't accept your reasoning. I have not acknowledged anything. You (apparently falsely) gave the impression you abused human tissue as a medical student. I did not acknowledge that you did. I am not saying it has never happened, but equally I am not saying it does now, let alone is commonplace...
Thank you. I appreciate your reply. I'm sorry that I've rubbed you up the wrong way.
This looks to me like a classic example of how a bit of mucking about between people who do not know one another can get out of hand on an anonymous forum. Those who do (sort of) know me and my sensa fumer...
In your experience, medical students abused human tissue donated for educational purposes? I hope you reported it. And what exactly was your experience?
This is all 'whatiffery' nonsense, sorry. It has no relationship with reality.
Anyway, back to your original premise: would I accept someone else's cock and balls? If it all had improved hydraulics, sensitivity and flying buttresses then, if needs dictated, definitely.
I do hope you are joking. This is as way off the mark as suggesting that black people are cannibals. I teach medical students and do medical research and your picture of the actualité is more James Robertson Justice and Doctor On The Go (very 1950s - and even then it was fiction). :shrug:
Rumours about this (bits sliced out while the donor was still chatting with the priest giving the last rites) surfaced in the mid 80s, due to a reckless episode of 'world in action' or somesuch. The result was that the 'I told you so' brigade of utter morons fuelled the fake news, and people...
This comment needs to be rebutted because it is Utter Nonsense. Nobody is advocating a system whereby people are forced to be organ donors.
I am in favour of 'opt out' (so the likes of you can opt out) AND I would make a law that prevents surviving family members blocking the organ harvest...
