| Message | Mr. Speaker, The insinuation that this would put an end to our organ shortage is misguided at best. The current regulation allows for only those who have died as a result of non-disease related incidents to donate organs. Not to mention blood type often limits who can receive what organs and even still organ rejection is still a genuine concern for patients. And then with regards to organ extraction, it must be done relatively close to TOD so then we run the risk of violating someone's religious customs. If we want to avoid said incidents then we could perhaps have them report their religion to the government but, that would be an over reach on our part. In the end without proper safeguards in place we can not in good conscious vote for this proposal. Lawrence Harding MP (F) |
