    If foetal heartbeat laws come into play will it mean that there will be two definitions of personhood? How will they impact organ donation where the legal definition is usually Brain death?

    Will we see an impact particularly on heart transplants?

    Remembering that the “beat” that is detected on ultrasound is actually not a fully functioning heart but only a group of cells

    I have fathered 2 adored daughters. Each has children. We all started as sperm in the womb.

    Frankly I love my kids. I am not sorry my wives and i love children.

    I am tired of them being treated no better than a dozen eggs at the store for sale.

    If I need a new heart or kidney I'm heading to Alabama ……..I'll point at a healthy young pregnant woman and say, "I'll take hers!"

    Because women in Alabama now have NO say in what happens to their bodies they are now all "donors".....and it'll be FREE!

    Actually, the supply of donated organs is quite high now.

    A silver lining on the cloud of the opioid addiction crisis.

    Young, healthy donors dropping dead left and right.

    One man's tragedy can be another's salvation.

    Nah, I don't think I want an addict's heart or kidney when I can go to Alabama and find a young , healthy pregnant woman and take hers...

    "Will foetal heartbeat laws impact organ donation?"

    interesting question as they often try to keep a brain dead human body alive to keep the organs alive even after the patient has long sense died
