(Dilemma #26) - "Compulsory Organ Harvesting Proposed" The IssueA group of emergency room doctors has petitioned the government to introduce mandatory organ donations. The Debate- Option 1: "It's not as crazy as it sounds," says Dr. Miranda Jones. "Every day, people die because we don't have the organs to save them. Well, that and widespread under-funding of the health system. But the point is, if the government allowed us to take organs from dead people, we could save hundreds of lives a year. And come on, it's not like dead people need them."
- Option 2: "You keep your damn hands off my organs!" says alarmed hospital patient Jean-Paul Dredd. "They are my organs, and I'll do with them what I like. The government has no right to my body."
