Wait, wait, I have one. Being an organ donor should be compulsory. Dead bodies don't need their organs and blood and stuff. That's for the living.

I strongly recommend you spend some time deep diving into medieval ideas about cannibalism. Because that is some amazingly deep theological poo poo and if you care about things like "how to get to heaven in a bodily perfect way without your dick some dude chopped off and ate" like, bruh, there are monks who are right there with you who wrote pages and pages when shitposting was millionaire level poo poo.

it's why we shun people who have near death experiences, or report going through the light in the tunnel only to be later revived. nobody likes a save scummer.

socialism is a loving fantastic concept, and marxism is still legit, but neither are implementable in the present context rapidly. we should however be pressing for as much as possible as quick as possible.

I wish pygmy hippos were not hunted for meat in Liberia anymore. I know hippos are generally assholes but this species is dying rapidly and kinda cute. Edit: In retrospect I may have confused "liberal" with "Liberia".

Ooh, I can do a few of these: I think we should more heavily tax the rich (and landowners especially) and redistribute money to the poorest for strictly utilitarian economic reasons, not out of any sense of fairness. Racism, ethnonationalism, etc. are bad, even when oppressed groups do them. The only things of moral relevance are people. Harms or benefits to groups, "society" or "culture" are relevant only to the extent they represent aggregations of harms/benefits to individual persons.

Taxing the rich is a dumb goal because they run things and will never let that happen, and if you took power from them why would you only just tax them a little more?

Keep in mind signing up to be an organ donor means that the gov has priority over your family concerning what to do with your corpse should it have viable donor material. Spouse wants an open casket, state wants your skin, spouse has no say in the matter. Meanwhile if you’re not an organ donor but have discussed it with your family, they have the choice to donate what they feel comfortable with.

why on earth would my spouse want an open casket, those are creepy and gross as hell. if the government could steal my skin to prevent the indignity of being put on display for the entertainment of family at my funeral, that would be a tremendous benefit.

I was going to say this isn't true, but I looked it up and legally you are totally correct(at least within the united states where state law doesn't choose to override federal law). However the same sources that say that say in practice most physicians will take the will of the family over the presence on an organ donor registry.

It is a labeling issue. Rename their taxes the “Wood Chipper Avoidance Fee” or the “Request to Delay Meeting Madame Guillotine Application Fee”

The federal government should be the employer of last resort for anyone willing to work full time. The positions should be infrastructure related and lean enough to encourage movement up or out but still enough to survive and have some benefits like health coverage and leave, etc.

Churches need to be taxed like any other business. You have way too many "mega-churches" where they build literal for-profit restaurants in there, and there's a mega-church in Texas I think that has a giant aquarium in there. That's not even getting into pastors who own private jets or mansions or multiple homes. I know the argument is that this helps ensure a separation of church and state, but lol if you think these churches aren't already doing everything they can to influence the government, even if they can't technically donate directly to a political campaign or candidate.

This is fine, I don't need my corpse and I'm not stingy about sharing my rotting pieces. Honestly we really need to make it legal to use people skin for making poo poo again. Use my tattoos to bind a book, or something neat. Put my eyeballs in a jar and let my great-great-grandneice carry them around.

I agree with you that it won’t matter to you or me what happens to our corpses, but I kind of wonder if you have any sense of empathy at all because I even explicitly mentioned in my post the part I’d be concerned about. A grieving family that may not beep boop “well they’re dead anyways who cares what happens now” through the posthumous process. People hold onto different things and have their own way of coping. If worst comes to worst I’d like my wife to have the right to handle things in the best way for her and I’m not going to trust a pinky promise from the American government or medical system to do the ethical thing if there were a difference in what she wanted vs what they wanted.

also if they can make a convincing tupac hologram they can make a convincing corpse with skin hologram. being an organ donor should entitle you to a government provided hologram cadaver.

He would have hated it. Personally I think we should honor the wishes of dead people to the best of our abilities and not parade them around like ghouls if that's not what they wanted. I guess it just depends on if you don't care what the dead wanted and only care to placate the living, which isn't the most illogical thing but lol at claiming other people lack empathy for wanting to honor the deads wishes.

Yeah it was a bit of both and I wasn't clear. My point is that compulsory organ donation is fine if there's an opt out category for religious exemptions but I don't think it should be up to the loved ones post-mortem to decide.

hmm, this guy who lost all his skin and is just a pile of muscle and sinew writhing in agony on a blood-soaked hospital gurney could really use my cadaver skin to keep on living, but my wife might be sad if the casket is closed at my funeral next week. i'm not really sure what the ethical choice is here, both sides have merit.
