The englishes organs are now presumed state property

Unless you opt out

Yeah same here

@Emile Borovich Interesting point to bring up, do you believe that dead ppl have rights?

No, but i think we should respect their final wishes as a courtesy

Same here

Im all for organ donation, i just dont want the state presuming they have express rights to our corpses

Doing that could be like the government having control of history and culture.

Yup I was actually already registered for everything before they made it opt out

Im not partially because im lazy and partially because thatd be me admitting i can die

Miss me with that gay death shit

@D.kota I'm not getting the point

I mean if the dead don't have rights, then the government would be allowed to control the dead.

government-run zombie hordes are too dangerous for one group to control, clearly

Problem is when someone dies, objectively theyre just a mass of dead organic cells

They remain human in appearance alone

@D.kota things dont have rights

Rights are something you afford the living

We just generally dont abuse bodies because its immoral

Well rights are something the living have

But that depends if you believe in "god"(I prefer societal) given rights or state given rights

A continuous extension of the self, though. Rights apply to the person, and the Constitution at least doesn't differentiate the living from the dead. The body, at least rationally, is part of the self.

😩 is this gonna turn into a philosophical debate

It might

Its like reverse abortion

When does a human stop being a human and become a lump of cells?

Is a decaying corpse human?

Is an ash pile human?

What about those tree coffins where they plants a sapling that uses your body as nutrients

I would even go as far as to say that your body isnt you, it's your property for sure. But the same way as a tool would be a part of you

It's a tool for your consciousness to use to do things

Id say a human is the combination of the consiousness and body

Body doesnt need to be organic mind you

A consciousness and a ability to impact the world you also could say
