Come on Mike, you know those bureaucrats have been taking kickbacks and bribes. They don’t treat “all” individuals as integers when they can do something like OIl for Food, you know. Or in this case, money for transplants.

It has nothing to do with bureaucrats nor policy.

It is not true that evil has “nothing” to do with bureaucracy or policy.

Many of us believe in the worth of individual liberty and individual responsibility. In a world that honors these concepts of individualism, an organ donor who expressed EXACTLY the person for which their organs would go to, would have their wishes honored. They are donors, and their recipient is on the donor list! Fait accompli.

But no! We have here the “Human Tissue Authority”, which clearly treats all individuals as integer elements in a list, each to be assigned an impersonal value of worthiness, and they’ve done so. What they’ve done is not illegal. But it is utterly against the philosophy of the worth of the human. Not the worth of HUMANITY itself, but the worth of the human, the individual, the honored.

This is in fact the very nature of government. Government cannot make exceptions, and where it is empowered to make exceptions, that merely increases its overall totalitarian power!

It is up to us to ensure that laws are passed empowering the worthiness of individual choices.

A donor SHOULD be able to grant his or her organs or blood to a willing recipient. The bureaucratic, faceless, anti-human choices of the “Human Tissue Authority” should be used to identify the best recipient they can, but only where no personal choice has already been made.

We must affirm the worth of each and every one of us, as individuals, or else there is only the worth of the vast faceless mob of humanity of 4.5 billion humans. The first leads to democracy and representative government; the second leads to totalitarianism.

On the other hand, it’s great that she’s fighting through it. She’s certainly getting up there, and sometimes the grit necessary to fight through something like this helps the blood to keep moving.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t a disgrace, however. Isn’t there _anyone_??? State department???

As if bureaucrats have any authority to decide who lives and who dies. Not in a republic, but they do in an oligarchy. And an oligarchy is exactly what the EU is.
