I never said that this is what is happening in this situation. It was to demonstrate that the system is not above stealing organs from prisoners.

Prisoners cannot consent to organ donation. The power dynamic in that situation will ultimately create extremely coercive elements that prevent prisoners from being able to exercise full bodily autonomy.

Further, if they are given incentives to do so, that creates an even worse coercive situation.

Me saying that there were “no ethical concerns” was sarcasm, because it is blatantly false.

Shoot, sorry about that comrade. Missinterpreted on my end. Sometimes I fail to see the sarcasm.

All good comrade! It happens! No need to apologize!

I can mark my comment as sarcasm.
