I thought it was obvious in my later post. More organs need to be made available rather than arguing over which potential recipient is more deserving than another.

HOW. Sheesh get to the meat of your plan to make more organs available. I think everyone should have a poet unicorn but can admit I dont know how to make it happen.

Poet Unicorn, good lord some people are never happy. A simple unicorn is not good enough? A magnificent pointy headed horse that can shoot rainbows out it’s ass and now you want it to be able to write poetry as well?

I wouldn’t donate them but I’d sell 'em.
So would a whole lot of people…but that would be politically incorrect…possibly as ESM alluded to earlier.

Based on your posting history, I know you’re anxiously waiting for Philb to suggest some kind of government-mandated organ donation scheme so that you can go off on one about how Obama is coming to snatch our organs away for whoever he determines is worthy, but I’m guessing he is alluding to increasing awareness of how to designate oneself as an organ donor, encouraging people to be aware of their family members’ wishes regarding organ donation… that kind of thing.

My issue is that we have arrived at a place in time where (apparently) the head of HHS can make it happen if she wanted.
At least the head of HHS agrees with you, "I can’t imagine anything worse than one individual getting to pick who lives and who dies,” she said. And it’s not clear she even can- her lawyers told her she can’t. “Sebelius said HHS lawyers disagree with Republicans who insist she can take emergency action.”
I agree with sphere that this whole thing is a dumb circus.
To discuss the reasons for this, of course, would be politically incorrect.
How so? The reasons, as far as I can tell, are pretty mundane.
Of course it’s a circus. Is there anything in politics that isn’t pure theater.
This one just happens to have a poor little 10 year old girl who can barewey bweave and a big ol mean democwat that’s going to pull the twigger and put this cute little child to death because her parents went to a Tea Party rally.
This is pure awesome!

Having made a career in health care, people who push the idea that making evidence-based medical decisions, and encouraging providers to have end-of-life care discussions with patients, constitutes the actions of a Death Panel, simply to obfuscate and scare people for political gain, have a special place in hell, in my book. Characterizing the Secretary’s decision to abstain from choosing who lives and dies, and deferring instead to a well-studied and proven process, as the implementation of said Death Panel is no different.
I see it as a watershed character issue. If a person is smart enough to understand the process, but choose to play politics rather than acknowledge the reality of the situation and defer to common sense and decency, it tells me everything I need to know about you. So far I’ve heard both Rush and the local talking preservative blowhard push the “she said ‘some will live and some will die!!!’” Obamacare death panel angle when in reality it has zero to do with either; what more need be said about them, really. Human excrement.

Well, yes. 99% of politics is boring and mundane. We just don’t hear about it.
**My issue is that we have arrived at a place in time where (apparently) the head of HHS can make it happen if she wanted. We have (apparently) given this person the power to decide who lives and who dies. **
That really isn’t your issue at all. Your issue is that you are finding another way to go after Obamacare by twisting things to fit your narrative.
I don’t have to twist anything to demonstrate that obamacare is crap.
I am actually, for real, a little disturbed that people are made to believe that begging HHS to let them live might result in success.
You have to love typos. A poet unicorn is so much better than a pet one. Can I get an Amen!
No I am legitimately curious because he never mentioned awareness. He simply continues to mention availability and I am curious how you make that happen.
A federal judge has ordered Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to allow Sarah Murnaghan, a 10-year-old in Pennsylvania dying of cystic fibrosis, to be moved to the adult lung transplant list. Normally federal policy prevents children younger than 12 from receiving donated adult lungs, but Sebelius has been under pressure to change the policy.
The parents of the girl asked the judge on Wednesday to order Sebelius to alter organ donation rules so that the dying child has a better chance of receiving new lungs. They say she is running out of time. U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson granted a temporary restraining order to exempt Murnaghan from the current policy, and there will be a hearing on June 14.

This story has a lot if angles.

Or I could have been completely off the mark with my earlier interpretation of Philb’s post, and he’s advocating the use of Death Squads (not to be confused with the similarly-monickered, but organisationally separate ‘Death Panels’) to simply increase the sheer volume of organs available by upping the number of dead donors.
