Comments on: Human Trafficking Enters A New Marketplace: Organ Harvesting https://www.aoiusa.org/human-trafficking-enters-a-new-marketplace-organ-harvesting/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:24:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: Michael Bauman https://www.aoiusa.org/human-trafficking-enters-a-new-marketplace-organ-harvesting/#comment-30876 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:24:49 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=13063#comment-30876 I was young when kidney transplants became viable and mass marketed, not that old when the Barnard’s pioneered heart transplants. The possibilities excited me at the time. I tended to believe the scientistic propaganda. The more I read about it and the longer I have been Christian the more I see that organ transplants are fueled by the nihilistic desire for ultimate power.

I would never ask for one, nor would I have allowed my child to have one had it been deemed necessary.

They have ceased having anything to do with medicine if they ever did.

What good is it if I gain the whole world and loose my own soul?

Major organ transplants are a devil’s bargain.

“Pernicious biological colonialism…” That is exactly what it is.

Meanwhile, the Philippines outlawed organ transplant surgeries for non citizens to stop the organ market. http://sixers.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/326137/biological-colo
