whats the dinMember
Bottom line is a tremedous Chillul Hashem was caused by all of this and as more details come out it seems that it was more entrapment than it was actually catching hardened criminals.
whats the dinMemberI have to say that from the aspect of the donee I dont see how Pikuach Nefesh should not override the concept of dina d’malchusa.
If the donor would not be a donor except for money and the donee has the money and its his/her only option to stay alive. I see no issues with it as long as it is heavily regulated and protections against forceful “donating” are put in place.
I believe we would save many more lives than we do with the current system..
whats the dinMemberPashuteh, the guy did profit alot but who else is willing to do what he does. People make a ton of profit on many ventures. But more importantly, I am looking at this from the perspective of the donee.
“Third” — The person giving the kidney for money presumably was not giving up his kidney otherwise. So no one is getting skipped in line. The line actually just got one person shorter.
“Fourth” — If we strictly regulated it and that the donor pay had to be fully disclosed and that “stolen” kidneys are not allowed due to some procedural protections for full disclosure then we may have a better, safer system.
whats the dinMemberSJS true true. But when will get rid of this stigma that paying taxes is for chumps.
R’ Yaakov Kamenetzky was carrying his hat and frock on a smoldering hot day in DC one summer and when they passed by the capitol building he put it on. When his Talmidim who were with him asked why he said because they were passing by the “shpitz malchus’ of the medina.
We must respect the medina shel chesed that we are in and obey their laws.
Do you realize that when an accident happens and emergency services arrive (along with volunteer services) in minutes that from our tax dollars. How about trash pickup or plumbing or the sewage system or beautiful highways and roads. These are all from tax dollars….
whats the dinMemberI hear all of your thoughts on the matter. I just wanted to note that the maximum jail term being faced by the alleged “kidney dealer” is “only” 5 years, while the maximum jail term for most of the other frum defendants is 20 years.
That kinda shows what the US government believes is the more severe crime.
whats the dinMemberIt made be feel good when I made a difference in someone else’s life yesterday.
