The law makes ALL VENEZUELANS by law, declared clinically dead and of 18 years or older a Donor by Default regardless of donor status beforehand.
This completely soured up my morning.
Not because of organ donations, or the religious side of it or how it is good , or bad, or what not. Simply because it takes away MY CHOICE upon my earthly remains (regardless if I'm dead or not) of what to do with them.
Choice? The freedom of choice? You can leave your earthly possessions to anyone you want, and if you do it correctly, the state or the government can only take a certain cut, in taxes and legal fees. But you can still inherit MATERIAL things to WHOEVER you want.
But not your body now, the Government has made it so. You are now forced upon death to relinquish your organs to ANYONE.
And this is Venezuela folks, where your organs, like the ones from the prison inmates in china will mostly go to the Black Market anyway.
I mean seriously?
Wow ... I'm really pissed off, one thing is to ask nicely, other to FORCE you into it, LEGALLY.
As a sour side note, please proceed to watch how Venezuela, will become in the future, one of the havens for Black Market organ transplants and forced donations. Since opt out measures are signed by paper and rarely enforced. Its a third world country that has electric blackouts, bad or nonexistent internet in some areas, and poor government efficiency.
Looking at this from a certain dark humourless perspective, perhaps if one of you needs an organ, you can probe in Venezuela, there will probably be a lot for sale for foreigners. Just remember, go there pretending to have a Cosmetic Surgery done, find a MD , tease him about this or that and a wad of bills, and VOILA! Freshly Harvested Organ for YOU!
Where it comes from? a Venezuelan Jon Doe in the morgue (hundreds of them in the weekends due to violence) A homeless child (they usually form herds in the poorest neighborhoods) or a prison inmate (jails in Venezuela produce a lot of dead bodies that can now, legally harvest the bodies) or perhaps, a poor sod on the street, that like the tale of the english gravediggers that began "harvesting" bodies for the doctors for money, began killing people when the doctor needed them "fresher"
Anyway, if you need an Organ, remember, Venezuela is now a Wonderful choice, wonder how much a Cornea or Heart will be in the Black Market? its a budding market, prices will lower soon I think with the incoming influx, Grab the chance! Quickly!
If Eve taught me something is to grab market opportunities when they present themselves. You can even make a good profit down there!
