    He was going to tour the US, but then decided that Iran was
    safer.
    IMHO, he should have toured China. Very little crime there.

    LOL. Nothing about Brazil? FHC (far right wing) made organ
    donation mandatory "in case someone needed it".
    The only reserve was that you had to be dead to harvest your
    organs. Nobody knows if the "someone" is Brazilian or even American.

    That sort of 'implied consent' has never made it through a

    I expect that is a boogey-man #FAKE_NEWS. China performs less transplants than the US, and percentage of population/wise, is 48th in
    the World..... They have few top experts. I expect if someone wealthy
    wanted a transplant, he'd travel to the US. Less risk.

    Until 2015 Chinese citizens convicted of serious crimes were
    sometimes required to donate non-vital organs as a reparation to
    society. That was banned by law in 2015. China is currently discussing abolishing even the death sentence. They've come a long way to
    becoming civilized.

    That was written a very long time ago. No one suspected it

    Until 2015 Chinese citizens convicted of serious crimes were

    When I renewed my drivers license in California, there was a single
    check box on the online application for donating my body and organs to
    science.

    "
    Organ & Tissue Donor Statement

    By registering as an organ and tissue donor, you agree to the recovery
    of organs and tissues after your death. Your decision does not need
    approval from anyone. If you are under 18 years old, you can register
    and your parents or legal guardian will make the final donation
    decision.

    You may contact Donate Life California at www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org
    or (866) 797-2366 to get more information about donation and to:
    Add or remove your name from the registry
    Limit your donation to specific organs or tissues
    (e.g., lungs, kidney, heart)
    Decide how your organ and tissue donation will be used
    (e.g., transplants or research)
    You agree that the DMV can electronically send your full name, home or
    mailing address, year of birth, and California driver's license or identification card number to Donate Life California.
    "

    That's it. Just one checkbox on a form and the entire body belongs to
    science.

    One of the benefits of donating one's body to science is that there
    are no funeral expenses.

    I've also had the displeasure of spending some quality time in various hospitals. As part of the checking ordeal process, the issue of
    donating my body to science always floats to the surface. I've been
    hesitant to volunteer my body because it might inadvertently provide
    an incentive for the doctors, administrators, etc to do a less than
    adequate job of keeping me alive while I am their guest.

    On my drivers license, there's a pink circle with "DONOR" near the
    lower right of my photo. <https://d2z00kf51ll94q.cloudfront.net/archive/2020/large/OS_PR20_076M_11.jpg> I guess that means I'm a donor. However, I tried checking my
    registration as a donor at: <https://register.donatelifecalifornia.org/profile/login>
    which failed. After some thrashing, I landed on the idenfy.com web
    site, which wanted to photograph my drivers license. Never mind that
    I'm already registered with the DMV. Abort. I'll untangle this mess
    when I have more time.

    You agree that the DMV can electronically send your full name, home or mailing address, year of birth, and California driver's license or identification card number to Donate Life California.
    "

    That's it. Just one checkbox on a form and the entire body belongs to science.

    One of the benefits of donating one's body to science is that there
    are no funeral expenses.

    I've also had the displeasure of spending some quality time in various hospitals. As part of the checking ordeal process, the issue of
    donating my body to science always floats to the surface. I've been
    hesitant to volunteer my body because it might inadvertently provide
    an incentive for the doctors, administrators, etc to do a less than
    adequate job of keeping me alive while I am their guest.

    On my drivers license, there's a pink circle with "DONOR" near the
    lower right of my photo. <https://d2z00kf51ll94q.cloudfront.net/archive/2020/large/OS_PR20_076M_11.jpg>
    I guess that means I'm a donor. However, I tried checking my
    registration as a donor at: <https://register.donatelifecalifornia.org/profile/login>
    which failed. After some thrashing, I landed on the idenfy.com web
    site, which wanted to photograph my drivers license. Never mind that
    I'm already registered with the DMV. Abort. I'll untangle this mess
    when I have more time.


    +1 to body donation.
    I gave mine to a medical college 30 years ago which frees up
    part of my estate for my daughter rather than an overpriced
    box. I carry the card with me.

    The article mentions the government was thinking of banning

    In 2014, state media reported that China would phase out the practice
    of taking organs from executed prisoners and said it would rely
    instead on a national organ donation system.

    It was banned in 2015, as I said. They now rely on

    FACT. China does not import or produce enough
    immunosuppressant drugs to cater for a large number of transplants.
    Without those drugs, you simply cannot transplant..

    OTOH, if an orange thing needed a kidney he'd just shoot the

    organ
    donation mandatory "in case someone needed it".
        The only reserve was that you had to be dead to
    harvest your

    This reminds me of the Monty Python Sketch about liver
    donation in "The meaing of Life": "After the operation you
    will be dead".


    That was written a very long time ago. No one suspected it
    would become official State policy under CCP.

    I expect that is a boogey-man #FAKE_NEWS. China performs less >>transplants than the US, and percentage of population/wise, is 48th in
    the World..... They have few top experts. I expect if someone wealthy >>wanted a transplant, he'd travel to the US. Less risk.

    Until 2015 Chinese citizens convicted of serious crimes were >>sometimes required to donate non-vital organs as a reparation to

    []'s

    If you go in any of the larger government hospitals here (Thailand)
    you will see posted, usually on elevator doors, how to will your body
    parts for organ replacements. China was not unique.

    That's slightly different. China used the organs of criminals
    that were executed until 2009 and later mandatory donations of non
    vital organs (like a kidney or a piece of liver) for people convicted
    of serious crimes until 2015, when they started a nationwide voluntary
    donation project and banned non-voluntary donation.

    In Brazil you can opt-out of being an organ donor, but it's complicated. I'm a donor, not that my organs will last that long.

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Silva>

    Underwent several kidney transplants(the Wiki only mentions
    one) and a heart transplant, all from people that just happened to be
    killed by gangs in the vicinity while he was in the Albert Einstein
    Israelite Hospital waiting for the organ.
    Coincidence, of course...

    PS All donated organs in Brazil are controlled by the State
    government, which hands them out according to an official, public
    "queue". Fausto Silva "jumped" the queue. Every single time.
    They "Thatchered" the system....

    <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Silva>

    When I renewed my drivers license in California, there was a single
    check box on the online application for donating my body and organs to >science.

    "
    Organ & Tissue Donor Statement

    By registering as an organ and tissue donor, you agree to the recovery
    of organs and tissues after your death. Your decision does not need
    approval from anyone. If you are under 18 years old, you can register
    and your parents or legal guardian will make the final donation
    decision.

    You may contact Donate Life California at www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org
    or (866) 797-2366 to get more information about donation and to:
    Add or remove your name from the registry
    Limit your donation to specific organs or tissues
    (e.g., lungs, kidney, heart)
    Decide how your organ and tissue donation will be used
    (e.g., transplants or research)
    You agree that the DMV can electronically send your full name, home or >mailing address, year of birth, and California driver's license or >identification card number to Donate Life California.
    "

    That's it. Just one checkbox on a form and the entire body belongs to >science.

    They might cut you up to figure out how you lived so long, but
    after around 65 very few organs are perfect enough for a transplant.
    Vascular damage in the big ones, malfunctioning for bone marrow.
    You're safe.
    Unless those horrible Chinese get their hands on you.

    Some day I'll provide a med student with an eyeball on a

    Beware of dinner invitations like "We would love to have you for

    With today's rising food prices, cannibalism seems to be gaining
    popularity:

    The medical "research", I guess organ donations are better than grave robbing.





    I don't know from cannibalism but sight gags with body parts
    are standard humor for med students. I mentioned eyeball
    mostly because the dramatic examples are, uh, unmentionable.

    It's been a huge and growing atrocity for well over a
    decade, well reported and yet ignored outside PRC.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-forcefully-harvests-organs-detainees-tribunal-concludes-n1018646

    The article mentions the government was thinking of banning
    the practice in 2014.

    //

    In 2014, state media reported that China would phase out the practice
    of taking organs from executed prisoners and said it would rely
    instead on a national organ donation system.
    //

    It was banned in 2015, as I said. They now rely on
    volunteers... donation is not mandatory, like in Brazil.

    https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/despite-multiple-attempts-by-human-rights-activists-forced-organ-harvesting-thrives-in-china/99708330

    LOL. A known right-wing #FAKE_NEWS outlet. American doctors
    say that the Chinese .... blah blah...
    I'll pass.
    []'s

    and on and on


    And yet it's ongoing and huge.

    https://currentsciencedaily.com/stories/644712139-analysis-killing-prisoners-for-transplants-forced-organ-harvesting-in-china

    America says, China says, America says, China says.
    FACT. China does not import or produce enough
    immunosuppressant drugs to cater for a large number of transplants.
    Without those drugs, you simply cannot transplant..

    OTOH, if an orange thing needed a kidney he'd just shoot the
    potential donor. "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and they would still vote for me". And probably comment on
    how "smart" he was.
    []'s

    And his fans would gush over how practical he was.

    +1 to body donation.
    I gave mine to a medical college 30 years ago which frees up
    part of my estate for my daughter rather than an overpriced
    box. I carry the card with me.

    One of my early jobs was "assistant embalmer" (floor sweeper) in a
    mortuary. I don't recall when I signed for organ donation, but I
    suspect it was when I was living with a lady friend who eventually
    became a doctor. I hesitated because I suspected that she wanted to
    disassemble me to see how I functioned. Over the years, I changed my
    mind several times. Indecision is the key to flexibility.

    At the mortuary, I saw some rather ugly religious, legal and family
    wrangling. Jewish law requires that the body be buried within 24 hrs
    of the time of death. Civil laws require that an autopsy be preformed
    to determine the cause of death, unless a doctor was in attendance and
    signed the death certificate. The family often wants an open casket
    funeral, which requires an embalming procedure to make the deceased
    presentable, but which makes the corpse unsuitable for organ donation.
    For an organ donation where the organ(s) in question need to be
    functional, the corpse needs to be surgically dissected immediately.
    In some cases, the matter was determined by who gets to the corpse
    first. Other times, the deceased may have signed an organ donation
    contract with multiple agencies. Such things change with local laws
    and jurisdictions.

    I'll stop here and not provide a list of other things that can go
