Jokes on john locke, i’m an organ donor anyways

Right, but there's no more harm that could come to you after you're dead, so being an organ donor wouldn't really qualify in this context. Your organs being donated after death diminishes you in no way and also potentially enriches the lives of others.

You don't have to be dead to donate organs. And donating something like a kidney does impact your health.

[–] rwhitisissle@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but also on a very basic level organ donating is not the same thing as selling yourself into a lifetime of inescapable slavery.

For sure, but i'd argue it's maybe comparable to the chef example.
