  • It’s never been an issue with medical skill. Drug manufacturers refuse to sell drugs for the purposes of killing someone because it bad PR, so instead they support torturous barely-lethal injections to make sure people suffer as much as possible before maybe dying.

    Our legal system also enjoys torturing people, so nothing is being done to fix the torture injections. We also don’t have a single payer healthcare system, so drug manufacturers can do whatever the fuck they want to maximize profits and minimize healthcare.

  • Stupid person here, sometimes us handicapped folks just forget to hang the tag or it falls off the dashboard.

    Not all of us are in wheelchairs or are even visibly disabled, so I get the frustration when you see someone who looks ‘normal’ walking up to their car in handicap spots.

    Please don’t yell at us or give us the stare. I’ve had people yell at me for using it, even with a valid tag. I have chronic pain, and just want to make doing groceries a little easier.

  • What about people who can’t donate blood, or can’t do so without great inconvenience? Where do you draw the line for moral responsibility?

    What about people who have a phobia of needles, suffered from medical abuse, or have adverse reactions to donating blood that makes them sick for a few days or weeks?

    If we are talking about people who contribute to other’s health through their own bodies, does that mean every mother is at the top of the list because birthing a baby is a contribution to another’s health?

    What about medical workers working 12hr shifts and completely wrecking their own bodies in the process? Is that a lesser contribution than someone who donates blood once a month? To go further, where would you put a factory worker with repetitive strain injury who makes the medical equipment that is essential to treating others?

    If we want to allot the use of blood based on one’s contribution of their bodies, we have to first ask what it means to contribute. No donor lives in a vacuum. If you can donate blood, it means you are supported by circumstances that leave you in good enough health to donate blood.
