Man Wants to Donate His Heart Before He Dies

Posted by samzenpus on from the cart-before-the-horse dept.

Gary Phebus wants to donate his heart, lungs, and liver. The problem is he wants to donate them before he dies. Gary was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease, in 2008. Phebus says he'd like to be able to donate his organs before they deteriorate, and doesn't consider his request suicide because he's "dead anyway."

    There is no god, your argument is invalid.

    Free exercise of religion is bullshit. When you are schizophrenic, you go into the nuthouse. Religion IS a mental disease, and should not be treated differently.

    The fact that you are delusional gives you no special rights after you die.
