cdowis Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) As someone observed, a mother can go to jail for spanking their child but she can now...... It appears a mother can now legally throw her newly born infant into a dumpster. I find it interesting that it is NOW, at this critical moment, that major changes are being made in the church to prepare us for the Coming of the Lord. Edited March 2, 2019 by cdowis 1

There was no possibility of the baby living as anything but a vegetable even with the restarted heart. That court case was decided that way. Are you willing to give all court rulings equal definitive weight? Somehow I doubt it. Yeah, the situation was very messed up but the idea that they were taking a viable human life is hyperbole. Harvested. Interesting term. 1

I can see why the term may have become unpopular. ngrams has "organ harvesting" not becoming common until 1970s, but I saw a citation using it in 1954. Edited March 3, 2019 by Calm

I had a liver transplant in 1999 due to a rare disease called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. I was unaware of the change. The term always struck me as rather morbid and the change is welcome.

Ngrams has popularity of "organ harvesting" dropping in 2001 or so. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=organ+harvesting&year_start=1900&year_end=2019&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Corgan%20harvesting%3B%2Cc0
