Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Not condoning this by any means, but everyone ought to be an organ donor. I find the people who refuse on the grounds of "I don't like the idea of my organs being harvested.." are demonstrating insufferable selfishness. Multiple lives can be saved from one donor. And you'll be dead anyway! You won't care then...
Especially all bikers should be mandatory organ donors.
Fully agree and am an organ donee since I won’t be needing them anyhow. I know your agreed with me but I’ll say it again for others who might be confused.
The issue is consent here, I know a lot of people don’t understand that word but the issue is he nor his family said they could have the heart, but the heart was taken anyway.
And I bet someone made money from it, too. It wasn't just to save someone's life.
I specifically said I wasn't justifying what happened here. My point was just an aside on the importance of organ donation.
I don't condone stealing people's organs. What happened here was clearly fucked up.
Eh, respecting peoples' bodily autonomy isn't that difficult. Not doing so causes way more problems in the world so far as I see it.
That article needs to compare those statistics with other types of events. I suspect it may just be from an increase in population during events.
That’s funny I consider another person who feels entitled to my organs to be insufferably selfish.
Are you directing this at me? If so, a swing and a miss.
I do not feel entitled to your organs. I feel that people ought to donate them, and that those who do not donate are inherently selfish.
Big difference. Be a decent human being and share your organs when you die, so that others can live. Let's use analogy so you can see how inherently selfish this is.
Suppose you have eaten until you're full and decide you don't want the rest. Since you have no more use for the food, you will throw it away in your garbage can at home.
But then you come across 3 or 4 other people who are starving to death, and your food makes the difference between life and death for them.
Do you feel morally compelled to stop and share this food, which has no more use for you? Do you feel like a piece of shit imaging driving past them to throw the food away in your garbage can?
