Not dead yet, eh?

But are they going to take them from anyone who has not specifically said they do not want to donate as they have threatened in the past?

Not even Monty Python dreamt that one up.

What’s *officially* brain dead as opposed to just brain dead?

And now about those MEPs…

Take this along with “presumed consent” and clearly the State really does own us – even more than we thought.

Just reminded me.

A guy from Holland told me (almost 15 years ago) that, among people there, there are “unfounded” but very persistent rumors of involuntary euthanasia being practiced (practice makes perfect!) so widespread that there is a general reluctance for all aged 50 or over to be admittted except in dire necessity.

Probably saves a bit on their healthcare costs, I’d guess.
