(4,187 posts)In this case, we have a real, live, breathing, and thinking human being who will die if he is not provided with the organ he needs. There is no question as to his personhood. (Moreover, he happens to be male, which, I'm sure, makes him more of a "person" in your eyes.)
Would you like to implement a government program that randomly picks people to donate organs to save the lives of these beings?
Or are you against this because the person who might have to undergo a major medical procedure against his will might be a male, like you? Perhaps you would only be in favor of such a program if the donors are exclusively female?
Somehow, people like you like to ignore the existence of a living, breathing human being who is being forced by the government to undergo a serious medical procedure against her will. All that matters to people like you is the foetus, which might be male.
Unless you are also in favor of forced organ donation, implemented by the government, with rules and regulations made up by Congress rather than by doctors, you are nothing but a troll and a hypocrite.
