> it. The long waiting lists for organs in the US show that our choice is a tradeoff, not a best practice. Insofar as our system is caused by squeamishness and the desire to feel morally pure, it is harming people unnecessarily too.
Apologies if I am misunderstanding, but are you insinuating that forced harvesting of organs is “best practice”?
- LocalH 7y agoI didn't get that reading at all. The US medical system shows very well that we don't always have "best practice" in mind when it comes to health care.
- Tade0 7y agoOr should even be considered "a practice" at all for that matter.
- Noumenon72 7y agoNope, neither is an unambiguous, strictly better practice. From the Chinese side I would be writing "The scandals where officials have given the death penalty just so they can get the organs show that our choice is a tradeoff, not a best practice. Insofar as our system gives incentives to harvest organs instead of keeping people alive, it is harming people unnecessarily too."
