You can't fight in here! This is the war room!

Of course. That was commentary on the trump crime family.

yes! thanks!

The dog breaking is the greatest.

Sigh. My wife and I are currently talking about a "this is why we can't have nice things" movie parody of the godfather or something.

I can't find it because the Internet now sucks and t swift has over taken that query.

I didn't know that was a thing!

I mean. Did everyone really not get that?

Did I have to be more obvious that this was commentary on the trump family?

I'm down voted a lot already, but seriously?

I want the book to be thrown at Hunter.

Ten times the penalty that Trump got the last time he was evading taxes and ten times the gun charges the last NRA fluffer got when they had a gun on probation (or whatever that charge is)

We can't send the message that the children of our president can just enrich themselves at the teat of the government.

...

Of course he shouldn't pardon him. How has it come this far?

Edit: Did I really have to be more obvious that this is a criticism of Trump and his family's behavior? Seriously? I even used the word fluffer.

That's the hypothesis, but the study is entirely about height.

In an extremely literal sense, it does.

I'm not saying it's right, but there is a reason people seek plastic surgery.

It's usually chnops with the S being sulfur and adding phosphorus.

And of course, that has absolutely nothing to do with why we have 5 digits.

Well I spent trillions of pico dollars.

You can buy kidneys in some supermarkets.

Not living ones though. Just saying.

But you're right.

Good question! I'm curious too.

So, there's emotional vegans and intellectual ones.

I could definitely see an intellectual taking one of the pigs kidneys and giving both the pig and the kidney a good home. Maybe not though. That's why this is such a good question.

I have convinced an intellectual vegan that it was ok to eat farmed clams and oysters. Because:

1. You are going to have a lot of difficulty convincing me that that thing is at all sentient. What would even the purpose be. It just sits there and filter feeds. (I could go on, but I won't)
2. The lastest research I've seen about this kind of farming suggests that it is probably beneficial to the ecosystem, and if it's not, it's largely neutral.

I imagine they donated the kidneys and put a hybrid one in there. Then you can monitor the body.

It's neat, but transplant ethics are really, really hard.

If the liver, heart, lungs, or other sensitive organs were viable, this experiment could easily render them inviable.

As a scientist, people doing science like this are typically well above board and kidney function is pretty simple to measure. This would also require all kinds of IRB approval that everyone would expect to be visible.

So, if the other organs were viable, they probably could easily stop the experiment and donate the organs.

I expect. I'd have to read the paper and such.

My wife and I discussed this extensively (and I'm a scientist. Well, PhD engineer. The science/engineering boundary tends to blur.). It hits close to home. Her mother died of an aneurysm suddenly when she was a girl, and her mom had her organs donated.

If our organs are good, take all of them, except for the ones that will be sold (some human tissue can be made into products that are sold, unlike, say kidneys).

After that, cremate or sanitize me in some environmentally friendly way. Fargo method, sky burial, whatever new thing they're thinking of. Doesn't matter. I'm already gone.

Then dispose. No keeping me. I want to be returned to nature.

I would definitely support this if my organs weren't viable. I don't think I would mind being a med school cadaver, but it's not really my preference.

Donating your dead but still living body is just a hugely valuable way to make the world a better place.

As per DNR, why do you have a DNR? I'll definitely have one at end of life, but that's not something you have until then. This is definitely not something that would be done on DNR patients. People who have DNRs don't don't really make good scientific subjects for things like this.

What a fascinating way to use a donated body.

While this is definitely an efficient use of such a unique situation, there are tons of experiments that would be fascinating to do on a brain dead subject.

Yeah, but it's 5 billion nAh.

That's how I know it's fake.

the literal word used by Mormon teachings is hot drinks.
