Mandatory Organ & Tissue Donations

Above, my opponent states that withholding food from a child is manslaughter or murder. That is correct. However, the difference between withholding food and withholding an organ is that it is not the parent's responsibility to donate blood or organs to their children. The law says so. A parent should donate a kidney or blood to their child, but that doesn't mean that they have to. The state does not tell them what to do with their bodies. However, food is a necessary substance of life. A parent should donate an organ, but a parent must give their children food. Parents are required to share some of their possessions, but not their body. Breast milk vs formula is an example. That is the law. Possessions vs. your body.Since I obviously must have not clearly stated the difference between active and passive to my opponent earlier, I will clarify:Active (Adj.): Engaging or ready to engage in physically energetic pursuits.Passive (Adj.): Accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance.Abortion, by any means, is actively doing something. Whether you simply detach the baby from the mother, decapitate it, or chemically burn it. Someone put that process in motion. Not donating organs is passive. If you don't save someone in a burning building, you won't go to jail, even though you could have saved them. For one reason or another, you decided not to save that person. That is inaction. You may feel guilty for not doing it, but you should not be forced to do it. Active and passive are two very different kinds of things. One always merits responsibility while the other rarely does.I want to ask my opponent a question, have you donated your extra kidney? Have you donated as much blood as is in the legal limit? Have you put on your driver's license that you want all your organs donated? I am 15, and so I am too young to donate blood by my state's rules, but as soon as I turn 16, I will donate. I have also added that I want all my organs to be donated on my driver's permit. I also plan on donating whatever is left to scientific research or medical colleges. I care about people, so I have done what I can under the circumstances, but I wonder if my opponent has.Now on to my contentions:1. Religious Freedom: Again, active vs passive. My opponent says "A person can not sacrifice their child to Gods they believe in just because their religion tells them to. Rastafarians are not legally allowed to smoke marijuana because their religion tells them to." Both of those actions are active and therefore are not accurate comparisons to the passivity of not doing something in the name of religion. In WWI, soldiers in the USA could opt out of fighting if their religion was pacifist. They wanted to not have to fight. They wanted to do something passive. The same goes for organ donation.2. Medical Research:And I quote "Everyone who dies should have their organs removed and used for donation." and again "Obviously for the sake of science a number of bodies could be saved for the sake of medical research by students" So apparently my opponent has accepted this and changed his position on this point...3. Big Brother Owns Your Body:When the government tells you that your kidneys and blood belong to your neighbor, it is too powerful. Period. As for drugs... active vs passive again. They are telling you not to do something. And the draft, oh please, a US citizen gets protection from the government in exchange for giving protection to the government.Sources:Logichttps://www.clientspace.org...https://www.google.com...https://www.google.com...
