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…

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.

Yes, and then again, no. One of the ways that doctors are increasing the matches is to give people an option to "chain" donate. (link)

A kidney match isn’t too hard. There would be a lot of organs available….but I’m wildly opposed to this bill.

It's still a terrible precedent to set- donating organ and tissue to get out of prison.

I’m writing to the sponsors of this proposed bill. It’s fucking horseshit. I can’t believe we elected people like this. We need to do better. Coercing prisoners to give up a fucking organ is abuse
