Yeah, relax plebes. It’s just tax credits (for now). People aren’t financially desperate enough to give away part of their bodies for so little (for now). You’re safe (lol).
You're making a slippery slope argument? I think?
This proposal is well-researched and is attempting to make donation financially neutral, so there is no reason somebody would sell their kidney for financial gain.
You're just imagining a different, ghoulish system being proposed and attacking that rather than actually considering the proposal mentioned, which could save many lives and end a lot of suffering -- and would not exploit the lower class to ghoulishly take their kidneys.
How is a $50,000 refundable tax credit supposed to be financially neutral? That's very clearly a financial gain! A refundable tax credit means that the donor will receive either a credit on federal taxes for five years of $10,000 per year if they pay federal taxes, or a check from the government for $10,000 for five years if they do not pay federal taxes. That would be a life-changing amount of money for a lot of people.
You're making an ad hominem argument? I think?
Absolutely not. Ad hominem would be if I attacked the character of whatup without addressing their argument, like if I said "in your post history you advocate for genocide, so why should I listen to you?" (not that they did this ofc.)
