      My perspective is that forcing people to become organ donors feeds into a narrative that humans as physical entities are only significant in terms of the value they create (in this case, value manifests as the possible transplantable organs). This is a fundamentally Western perspective, informed by economic theories that promote the valuation of all tangible assets without considering exogenous variables that could adversely effect “value”, or otherwise writing them off as costs.

      I’m opposed to your perspective because it creates the precedent for Westerners to continue rationalizing the dehumanization of people under the safety umbrella of good capitalist business practices. As I said earlier, I believe your argument lacks validity outside of a Western context.

        I am lost at your comment. Seems like a word salad in which you say absolutely nothing of substance.

        What does being an organ donor have to do with capitalism, or with the western society? And what does it have to do with “humans as physical entities in terms of the value they create”? What are you talking about?

        What???

            That’s quite the clever tactic. Just throw together a “salad” of an argument — so incoherent and lacking in logic that no one can make sense of it. Then say, “if you can’t understand it, you’re proving my point.” Win? Somehow?
