Crazy concept. What happens if driverless cars cause a drought of organ donation?

Posted by Volnelk Jan 13 '17, 16:53

Could more lives saved on the road actually mean that more people die?

Because one person in an accident can save multiple people at once.

Strange thought. (www.fastcoexist.com)

35k deaths save how many people? And let's say they are all donors. -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 16:55 6
- 1/5th of donors come from car accidents. So it costs 35k deaths to save 7k lives. Seems legit -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 16:58 3
  - One organ donor can save 8 lives and improve the lives of up to 50 people. - Beryllium Jan 13, 18:23

  - Let's get rid of that seat belt law too! More parts for the rest of us! -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 17:01
- It's not just about saving them. There are non-terminal donations as well. Corneas, etc. -- (edited) - Beryllium Jan 13, 16:57 1
  - I get the concept, but it's clinically inhumane. -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 17:04
We are less than 15 years away from growing organs using a persons own cells - Bacon Jan 13, 16:54 1
