CMV: Organ transplant after death shouldn’t be optional
There are between 5,000 and 8,000 deaths every year in the USA due to organ shortages, and theoretically millions could be saved worldwide every year if we had a surplus of organs to donate.
Mandatory organ donated would prevent massive amounts of predictable harm, and we have the solution right in front of us. I recognize the cultural barriers, like some people wanting to follow certain strict religious protocols postmortem, and others are worried that a doctor will kill them to harvest an organ for another patient, but I don’t believe that any of those reasons should be held above reducing massive amounts of harm to humanity every year. I’m confident that a system could be made that allows for mandatory organ donation postmortem while also erring on the side of caution so that some people still die every year due to lack of a speedy harvest so that close to no one dies due to too speedy of a harvest.
I don’t find the argument that you continue to own your organs after you die very compelling. If we already accept mandatory autopsies and compulsory public health measures after death, then we should also accept that you can have a funeral without your kidney or a piece of your live
From the outside, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what makes this interesting. Curious how this plays out.
From a neutral view, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s the key detail here. That’s the impression it gives me.
From a practical angle, this feels more about execution than intent and that tension shows up immediately That’s the key detail here. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.
From a practical angle, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here At least from my perspective.
this feels rushed rather than thought through so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.

Without overthinking it, this solves one problem while creating another which is why this is getting picked apart
To be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled Not convinced this is settled yet.
Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy Interested to see the follow-up.
From my side, the signal is clear, the strategy less so Curious how this plays out.
If we’re being honest, this feels like a half-step, not a full move so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the impression it gives me.
At this point, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that friction is hard to ignore That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here.
Real talk, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Without overthinking it, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.
there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which explains why reactions are split That part stands out. That’s just my read on it.
Reaction: FFS ... Meh
Real talk, the way this is presented changes how it lands This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s the part people are stuck on That part stands out. Curious how this plays out.
Reaction: very shocking
I get the idea, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what makes this interesting.
the follow-through is what will decide this which makes the reaction pretty predictable Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.
Reaction: Its been 3 years since I last saw morning
If we’re being honest, this feels more about execution than intent which makes the reaction pretty predictable Let’s see what happens next.
To be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the key detail here. Time will tell.
On the surface, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s just how it reads to me.
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s just my read on it.
this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s what makes this interesting. We’ll see how people react over time.
