| Message | We disagree with this organ thieving, for the simple reason that a severely handicapped person has no way to make his intentions to keep his organs known. |

| Message | Plus a severely handicapped persons organs would probobly not be allowed to be used in the organ donation screen and of course there would be other rules against using the organs of those who are not mentally competent to make the choice of whether they want to donate organs or not. |
