Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Politics - Not List Material

[LarryT (l02turner]

On this topic,  I'm on the side of the gov't staying out of the people's 
business.  Speaking of abortion and people's rights to do as they wish with 
their bodies, everyone knows the gov'ts position on abortion - but here are 
laws against prostitution - another situation of someone doing as they wish 
with their bodies like abortion - except a baby doesn't die.   Same with the 
possibility of selling healthy body parts.  A lot of good could come from it 
if it we were allowed to sell parts of our own body.    After all, if we 
don't own the right to do as we wish with our bodies what rights do we 
really have?  Consider a man dying but who still has a good kidney and a 
good eye. Both could be sold to provide money to the family or to pay 
medical bills.  A good argument could be made for allowing us to sell our 
body parts.

But that's another story....
