IN THE SOCIALIST STATE, NOT EVEN YOUR BODY IS YOURS

The socialist statists believe all of your property belongs to them, so they can tax it away for "the common good."

They also believe that they have the right to confiscate your body itself:
Gordon Brown has thrown his weight behind a move to allow hospitals to take organs from dead patients without explicit consent.

Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, the Prime Minister says that such a facility would save thousands of lives and that he hopes such a system can start this year.

The proposals would mean consent for organ donation after death would be automatically presumed, unless individuals had opted out of the national register or family members objected.

But patients' groups said that they were "totally opposed" to Mr Brown's plan, saying that it would take away patients' rights over their own bodies.
It won't be long before the socialists claim the right to confiscate your organs before your death.

At least there is some resistance:

Patients' groups said that they were appalled by Mr Brown's intervention. "They call it presumed consent, but it is no consent at all," said Joyce Robin, from the watchdog Patient Concern. "They are relying on inertia and ignorance to get the results that they want." She said that the

Government had made little effort to get people to register to give up organs after death. "Where is the big media campaign, where are the leaflets? Why, when I go to see my GP, doesn't he ask me about organ donation? These are the things they should be doing - not taking away our right to decide what happens to our bodies."

Katherine Murphy, of the Patients Association charity, agreed. "We don't think a private decision, which is a matter of individual conscience, should be taken by the state. If people want to give the gift of life, that is their right, but it must be something that is a voluntary matter. "

The purpose of the socialist state, however, is to make individual conscience evaporate, because it is much more "efficient" to annihilate individual rights than to appeal to free individuals.

  1. I guess that they can no longer claim that the UK's 'death tax' only applies to the rich. This is a tax like no other.
