re: #675 LotharBot

But in the circumstance that someone actually ends up dependent upon my organs (in a way which is not life-threatening to me), I don’t see any particular reason why I should be allowed to kill them in response

Why are you equating “taking away life support” with “killing”?

Also: I assume you have two kidneys. And a liver. There are lots and lots and lots of people out there who will literally die if they don’t get a kidney, or a liver. I understand you not wanting to donate your kidney, since you only have two, but your liver regenerates. Like pregnancy, there is a chance of death or other harm during the procedure, but if you refuse to give up your portion of your kidney, someone will definitely die.

Are you ethically okay with that?
