The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
- mysterydip 5y agoAre you volunteering?
- CyanBird 5y agoSeveral western countries are already using opt out for organ donation rather than opt in, as many countries have overly long wait times and people die waiting for a liver or lungs etc What unlike the US or China, many countries just don't have anymore are death sentences, so it is not really that much of a discussion to kill prisoners and then harvest their organs, because these countries would just not kill people like that

- nosianu 5y agoSo I was about to write something flippant in opposition about it possibly being the reverse, the many serving the few (powerful), but since I felt I don't really know what I'm talking about I googled. I found an interesting document authored by the "German Institute for International and Security Affairs" [0] (A semi-official organization with close links to the federal government, it advises the Bundestag (the German parliament) and the federal government on foreign and security policy issues). The document is titled "Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law" [1] and describes Chinese goals for developing the rule of law in China over the next decade. I found it very interesting and IMO relevant to the discussion, to see where they want to go, even if it's not outright on topic.
