    Sometimes it seems like Oliver has done more for our country than all the politicians put together. 😂

    Rich people can get any medical treatment including abortion and transplant organs. Laws are for the rest of us.

    Covering that 6200 death gap seems to have a handful of very easy fixes. Mostly incentives at the right places, properly advertised, like tax credits.

    E.G: Sign up to be an organ donor upon death, get $500 off your state or federal taxes. Getting renewing driver’s liscence or passport? It’s free if you become an organ donor. There’s others too, some of which are practiced.

    Since only 3% of bodies are viable, getting 6200 extra would mean convincing an extra 206,000 to sign up a year. In a nation with 340m people. Around 20m people renew their liscence each year. Around 60% have signed up as donors. 40% of the renewers is 8m. You’d only need to convince 2.5% of those 8m to sign.

    That and/or the tax incentive alone could cover the extra 206,000 a year needed.

    I don’t understand why some people choose to NOT be an organ donor. After I am dead, doctors can have anything they need off of me to help someone else stay alive. Choosing to not be an organ donor has got to be the most selfish thing a person could possibly do. Why would you choose to let someone else die if you could save them? I think organ donation should be mandatory. You’re not going to be needing them and it won’t hurt you as you are already dead, so keeping your organs after you die is the ultimate dick move of an unbelievably selfish prick. Hell, I’d sell a kidney right now if I could. I’d LOVE to pay off my house and keep someone else alive at the same time, as that would make the rest of my life better, plus help someone else have a life. Be organ donors people; not doing so is morally reprehensible.

    just so you know, you can’t trust anything a woman says. that’s why they’re so popular in mainstream media whose main function is to deceive its viewers with propagandist brainwashing.
