“I hope we’re not counting on the Kennedy family to supply organs, especially livers”
LZ: Connecticut State Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr. (D-Branford) — son of former U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) — wants to give state government control over what happens to citizens’ organs after they die.
Kennedy recently introduced SB 750, which would automatically enroll Connecticut’s citizens in the organ donation program.
“If people want to donate their organs after death, I have no problem with that at all, but it should not be coercive in any way,” state Sen. Len Suzio (R-Meriden) told the local Connecticut newspaper The Record-Journal.
As is the case in most states, citizens currently must choose to opt into the organ donor program. Were SB 750 to pass, however, the state would automatically assume a citizen’s consent and could harvest his organs after death, unless he went through the proactive process of opting out of the program beforehand. more here
If Ted Sr. and Jeb had a love child…
Ted’s liver supplies the power for JFK’s eternal flame.
Jus sayin
The Kennedys have been very generous donating their organ to as many women as possible. Unfortunately not all the women survive the experience.
Hope no one is looking for brains when he dies.
Just like a Kennedy to donate someone else’s shit …
Typical socialistic bullshit.
izlamo delenda est …
And back in the 1970s, when Larry Niven wrote the Gil Hamilton stories, we all thought it was just science fiction.
Looks like the “Organleggers” (like bootleggers, except with human organs) are real after all…only this time, they’re the government.
I got an organ he can borrow.
Swell, then if you end up as a vegetable due to some accident, the state will be like:
“He can’t see, he don’t need his corneas,
he can’t walk so his tendons are fair game,
he don’t need his ‘extra’ kidney,
or that other lung,”
Because these statist vampires have made it illegal for me to sell my organs, I’m keeping them. They’ll be cremated and not stolen. I own myself, you ghouls!
I’d as soon not be under the control of a state that finds me worth more dead than alive.
What kind of a morbid ghoul would conceive of such a thing, let alone admit it? Oh, it’s a Kennedy, that explains everything.
The law assumes your body belongs to the state. What about women who want abortions claiming “it’s my body”? Have they been wrong all these decades?
The Kennedy’s are a very generous family, and can do it without ever putting their hands in their own pockets.
That drunk had a KID??? Chip off the old block.
Time was an asshole like this would be run out on a rail. Whatever happened to that process anyway?
Soylent Green is people!!!!!
Here’s the reason I would never fill out an organ donor card:
The scene is a hospital emergency room where I have just been taken following an auto accident. After examining my unconscious body, the attending physician turns to his colleague and says, “Well, he probably won’t make it, but there’s a chance that we might be able to save him. However, we’ve also got Senator Kennedy in the next room. He’s an alcoholic, and he desperately needs a new liver…”
Positively ghoulish. Is Kennedy going to come out with his own version of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”?
It’s close to midnight and you
Smell Chivas Regal In the dark.
In the State House you see a sight
That almost stops your heart.
You try to run, but Connecticut
takes your kidneys before you make it.
You start to freeze as a government ghoul
Looks longingly at your eyes.
You’re paralyzed….
‘Cause it’s a killer
The entire Kennedy bloodline should be euthanized for the greater good.
Uh….the “donating” person has to be alive for the organs to be of benefit to anyone. No, thank you.
Who got old Teddy’s organs when he went over to take his rightful place in hell? They should have been good since they were marinated in alcohol for 50 years or more!
Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.
Kennedy is just more reason I don’t mention I am from Connecticut sometimes. Fortunately, he’s a rep from West of the Connecticut River where the money is. We still have a lot of good people here it’s just that we’re outnumbered by the Progs.
What a great idea. Give corrupt, unaccountable government elites unrestricted access to human organs. What could go wrong?
Of course there will be a religious exemption. (Cough, cough muslims, cough cough).
Let me remind you people – Dubya signed into law, genetic profile of every baby born in a hospital goes into a federal DNA data base.
Let that sink in.
He’s going for the Al Franken look.
I thank God I got cancer (Lymphoma) because it makes me ineligible to be an organ donor.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEEPLES! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEEPLES!
I told you so. It’s not guacamole — and ketchup doesn’t make it taste better.
cant think of any one family that was more destructive to America than this one, from the swimmer down to the golf club killin cousin
If any of you ARE organ donors, take a Sharpie and write I AM HARAM on your donor card. At least this way if you die your organs won’t go to the wrong sort of people.
There is no way that glob of festering pus between his ears could be called a brain.
This is why we have guns Ted, so you can’t take what we own.
During our lifetime the government sucks the lifeblood out of it’s citizens through unconstitutional laws, taxes, regulations and rules.
Now in death they want our organs.
Through government, Life has become a huge compost pile of humanity.
the despicable Kennedys are at it again
if they ever harvest Ted Kennedy Jr’s brain it will be labeled “Abby Normal”
Step two is giving the government ownership of your organs before you are dead.
I don’t even donate blood, so the likelihood I’ll decide to part with any piece of me is so remote it isn’t worth the bet. Not to mention, I’m not the most social person so my parts will likely reject you on their own. Also, I’ll haunt you if you take a piece of me without my conscious consent. Not haunting in a traditional way, think something more terrifying-hairy, overweight, pink spandex, lots of inappropriate touching, especially at meal times….
“Can we ‘ave your liver?”
“But I’m using it”
“Right, what’s all this then?”
“THat’s my organ donor card’
“Right, hold ‘im down!” (SCREAMING ENSUES)
