Art, Organ harvesting made it passé.

“Progressive” thought has moved on from “Soylent Green” to “Coma” to “Death Becomes Her.” All that advanced under the influence of “Night of the Living Dead.”

As to 15% of Americans and Europeans endorsing it, I pray it is that small, but there’s cause to doubt it. Recipients of “donated” organs may be too ready to accept a conscience numbing story as to the origin of their new body part. A scraping of the organ and DNA test could verify the story’s veracity. Could their life extension be the product of far Eastern notoriety? Uh, STFU.

Bottom line: “Soylent Green seems apropos for some reason” because cannibalism is not strictly a gastronomic experience any more.
