| Killing us softly |
Remember this song?
Strumming
my depression with his fingers
Skipping
the no-touch time
Killing
me softly with organ transplant
Killing
me softly while my heart is still beating
Taking
my whole life with his knife
Killing
me softly with his knife
Skipping the “no-touch time” – a period of several minutes
which must elapse to ensure that death has occurred – a proposal by medical
researchers in Holland READ HERE says that, “Instead of dying by lethal injection, people
requesting euthanasia could be legitimately killed as their organs are stripped
from them on the operating table during transplant surgery.” The researchers
believe that doctors should be given the power to kill under these
circumstances since it would “improve the quality of the transplanted organ.”
