Journal Star- public can weigh in on organ donation bill

While flipping through the journal star, I noticed an interesting article title. I managed to keep reading after being frustrated with the addition of a new law/bill we are passing in the Springfield Capital Courthouse. Our legislature is aiming to make everyone a donor. The bill would be making everybody a organ donor over the age of eighteen, and it would only be able to avoided by people is if they were to go to the doctor and he would be able to show valuable reasons why you shouldn’t donate your organs. My opinion is this is absolutely garbage. It’s totally ruining our freedom, I bet by the time I’m eighty years old, living in the United States will be like a prison. They keep passing laws after laws that aren’t necessary, and they need to find better time for the jobs, like how to get out of dept. I believe giving our organs or being a donor is a very nice thing to do, but it should be our choice, it is our bodies not the governments. I believe there is a new movie coming out, called repo man or something. I saw the preview and it was awesome, but to relate that to this article is that it’s about the government taking people’s organs who they felt don’t deserve them. With dumb laws like this coming about like wild fire, there is no doubt this could happen in the next century. Overall, I really hope this bill is not passes because its taking away our freedoms.

  1. Wow! This is a very controversial topic. I haven't heard of this yet. I'm going to look into it.

    I've seen the preview for Repo Man. I think it has to do with people who get some kind of ogan donation and then end up not making the payments. Looks good.
