So I was working on my economics homework last night when I came across
what I thought was a bit of a strangely worded question. It spoke of
the "price of used organs"... At first I thought they meant organ as in
the "tickle the ivories" musical device.. Or the Organ Grinder dude
with the monkey... What the puck? There's really a market worth
mentioning for those? I thought. Then I got to the "(livers, kidneys
& hearts)" part. Oh! THOSE used organs.



Wait. Seriously? "Used Organs"? Why not "Transplant organs" or
something not quite so f'in creepy? Just... Kinda makes my skin crawl.



Strange that, as usually I am NOT Mister PC.. I laugh when people
fumble over which synonym for "disability" to use- I will often use
"cripple" in reference to myself. Pull into a parking spot, toss my
cripple card up on the dashboard.. Rarely do I use any of the
disability services anywhere..




I don't know. I just found the wording a little strange. Especially in
a textbook. Then I got to the answers.. Banning imported organs? I
didn't know we did that. Guess it makes sense in a way, if you think
about it- In countries where there are fewer laws & regulations
it's prolly easier to get ahold of a "used" organ- Remember the urban
legends about someone waking up in a bathtub of ice with a "call 911"
note stapled to their forehead? Beware of going out drinking &
getting rufied! They'll steal your kidneys! Ya we laugh but how much
you want to bet that's actually going on somewhere? Where do you think
the idea for that movie 'Taken" came from? Snatch someone, Use 'em in
the slave trade for a bit & once they're worn out "harvest" them.



Yeah, there's a dark view of the world for you!







And now that your skin is crawling... Have an excellent day!
