So obviously the organs thing is a bad idea, but is there any downside to donating bone marrow? My understanding was it regenerates.

As long as it’s clearly sick time (say in the instance of PTO with no policy to delineate how much of it is sick time they may have to pay out). Here is the source though to support your point.

I bet "big fish" have access to prisoner's medical records and are thrilled to have a private organ bank to dip into when needed.

If you check my post history, I have mostly been doing that for threads since I first join the moderating team on January 1, 2023.

I obviously, cannot comment on every, single, individual reply. Some threads need more moderation than others, and a follow-up on everything would be a time restraint.

But if I have to intervene on a thread level, I feel I owe it to everyone within that thread to know what has happened and why. So far, I have been able to commit to that.

Jesus fucking Christ, so now we're incentivizing the cops to overreach so we can harvest living tissue from "criminals"

These bill sponsors should read the Jigsaw Man by Larry Niven. This bill is the kind of shit that leads to that story becoming reality.

This 2013 op-ed is very persuasive as to why this is a horrible idea.

Suing is free if you actually have a case…

You don’t need money to sue— if an attorney will take your case, they’ll just take a cut of the settlement.

It’s worth calling a few you deem reputable, and see if they’ll work the case for a cut of the settlement.

The people who would make these kinds of rules are the same people who wanted to be hall monitor in elementary school.

I do... All the time for doctors appointments and stuff, etc. My workplace used to have unlimited sick and personal time but had to put a number on it after an MA legislation change (I think?). The initial number given to each person was calculated based on how long your tenure was. I had been there for a while... Hence... Big number!

What the fuck have we become?

Getting selected as a marrow donor is a one in a million scenario. Similar for kidneys. It’s not like anyone can donate at will, first you need a match…

Came here for this comment

If it helps anyone, here is the comic strip that inspired the term.

Jesus whose dystopian brainchild is this?!

I know when I donate blood one of the questions they ask is if you’ve been incarcerated in the last year. Idk if that’s automatically disqualifying, but I’d think the eligibility requirements for organ donation would be at least as strict (and probably more strict) compared to those for blood donation.

Can't see any way this isn't horribly abused. FFS.

Not trying to be funny… not trying to get a laugh.. don’t want anybody to have the worst day at their job.. but

But it’s the adult sub, it’s not for kids

Start taking some sick days!

Sorry it's a reference to a skit from "I Think You Should Leave," that's what the above comment was quoting.

Where in Canada are you? It is 9:25 PM here in MA, USA.
