15 | will it cost them to do so? If it costs so much as one dollar, | |
16 | then this is extortion. | |

18 | "Presumed consent" means that you | |
19 | might not know they are harvesting your organs | |
20 | because you did not give "informed consent"; | |
21 | and you are not being paid, but the State will | |
22 | sell your organs. This is unconscionable. | |

43 | For people of some religions, this is a religious crisis, | |
44 | for example, for the State of Vermont to | |
45 | harvest your organs without your informed consent and | |
46 | then to sell your personal sexual organs to | |
47 | someone who is having a sex change. | |
48 | This is a violation of the separation of Church & State | |
49 | guaranteed in the United States Constitution. | |

51 | I hope people of religious faiths who are horrified | |
52 | by this bill, will stand up and scream "like holy hell!" |
