On a fucking <I>bus</I>?<BR/><BR/>Wonder if party officials and the rich get first dibs on the organs. Not enough organs to go around to the highest bidder or most powerful political brokers? <BR/><BR/>Why, just use the same unitary statist means to condemn more prisoners to death, and voila, more organs to go around! Sounds like a profitable state growth industry, with all the convenience of one stop shopping---unless you're a prisoner, of course. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like a bit of a conflict of interest, though, ethically speaking. Just a tad. To say the least. Oh, and quite <I>monstrous.</I> <BR/><BR/>Mao would be so proud of this advance in utilitarian efficiency and China's continuing enlightened cultural revolution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
