Bob Higgs levels yet another brilliant blast against the warfare state.
George Jonas, writing in Canada’s National Post, objects to prohibitions on monetary payments for transplantable body organs. (HT David Stinson) Here’s an especially nice paragraph:
Most of all, what makes anyone think that he is entitled to pass a death sentence on a fellow human being by forbidding him to purchase an organ from a willing seller? Is it principle? Choosing to die for one’s principles is one thing; obliging others to die for them is something else again. (In Canada, forcing others to die for one’s principles is called socialized medicine.)
