I recently viewed some Monty Python and was reminded of their genius at uncorking the bottle on many issues both great and small in creative and disturbing ways.

The Monty Python crew’s unleashing of the perils of organ transplants is one of their bloodier efforts but as an organ donor I am not hazed. What I am hazed at is the merciless pursuit of organs through force and guile. This theme is mercilessly pursued by the Python crew.

Their  take on the meaning of life from the imponderable of the beauty and expanse of space to the mercenary harvesting of organs is at best thought provoking at worst disturbing – there is an over abundance of blood and the total indifference of the white coated harvesters is chilling.

Oh! Is this another pressure on people to be medically killed/ euthanised? – Your organs will benefit society!

How much pressure to convince people to die by euthanasia will be on people. First there is pressure based on the cost of medical care. Then there is pressure from family members who are tired of caring for the person. Then there is pressure on a person because society has made them feel like a burden. Now there is pressure because good will come from euthanasia if they donate their healthy organs.

This from, Euthanasia and organ donation in Belgium.  See also, Australian Christian doctors oppose euthanasia.

Warning: watch this grotesque and very bloody link at your peril. PG is recommended, Monty Python: Live organ transplants.
