I'm quite frankly waiting for a Republican to introduce a bill making organ donation mandatory. After all, if the government can declare plenipotentiary powers over a living woman's uterus, I can see no reason why they can't plant the Stars and Stripes on some brain-dead hospital patient's internal organs. Maybe we can call it "emminent domain". If Wal-Mart can do it, why not Cousin Billy?

Hell, why not declare sovereignty over the organs of living people while you're at it? Millions of people suffer from kidney failure, why not simply take a kidney from a living person with a biological match? We have two kidneys, we can get by with one. Same with lungs. It's all part of the "pro-life" movement, right? Lots of people are pretty seditary... we don't need two lungs to play "Call of Duty".

Free people from 10 hours a week in dialysis! Wipe out a massively expensive segment of the medical economy! Mandatory kidney donation!
