Detective Greevey was always great at talking with potential witnesses. His politeness with the Organ Network worker came back to help later on - she was more than willing to explain to Greevey and Logan how the person who received the kidney was in dire need of it, and how the victim, Mr. McDaniel, was a perfect match - which was why he was targeted.
"Any 2nd year medical student can remove a kidney. It takes a talent, like mine, to put one in." Dr. James Roberty to ADA Stone at 29:00 of the original series.
@@piercebrown3160 The Original L&O ended in 200? (I'm too lazy to research it). The only franchise still standing is SVU which has been in production for 21 years.
I loved this show and the other similar shows of the time that solved cases in each episode or over a couple of episodes...without the need for the cast to have secrets and dramas and angst going on as a major theme...I hate that...it's is unsatisfying
Larry Niven warned us about organleggers in 1969, it just took a little while before something happened that TV writers noticed (back in Season 1). I think I saw this episode when it first came out, and immediately made the connection (I'd probably read one of his books recently at that time).
hmm having organ donation be a "negative option" isn't a bad idea. Those who want to decline still can, but how many people wouldn't mind donating, but have been too lazy to do so?
its like voting, why have people register? Why so many hoops? This should be an auto available thing, don't wanna donate, tick the box, don't wanna vote, don't vote, tada
@@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 Pretty much. When I went to get my driver's license, and I asked about it, they pretty much said it was for granting permission for my doctors to remove anything salvageable after I'm dead. I mean, obviously, I could volunteer myself to be tested and I could give consent to be a donor if I had a friend or family member who needed a kidney, but the organ donation sticker on the license is pretty much there for the doctors to see after I die and I'm beyond the point of caring. Which is why a lot of people select the option. It only comes into play after they're dead, so what's the harm? It's not like removing a lung, liver, heart, or kidney is going to make them more dead.
I agree, on death organ donation should be presumed unless consent is explicitly withdrawn. Better a life saved than the organ decomposing in the ground or being burned a fire.
I don't agree with that. If that is allowed, how are we to know the cause of death was natural and not accidental that the doctor or who ever purposely prolonged treatment to obtain someones organs through death?
Not sure I agree. Could open a can of worms for families. What about families that don’t agree with other family members. Family secrets, maybe someone’s Daddy, isn’t their Daddy. Or finding out someone’s organ saved the life of a child molester or serial killer? Not everyone is proactive. How many people die without a will? No. This should be a direct decision by the organ owner. Not a presumption that one’s organ belongs to everyone.
before I was all for organ donation, saving a life or many sounds good, but them I knew more humans and I have to say, I will take them all with me than them to go a an animal abuser, child molester, or any sociopath next door... some lives are not worth saving
@@BlackRose85789 Well there's a big difference between accidental death and intentional letting or causing someone to die. Everyone paranoid about corrupt doctors could be able to opt out of organ donation, such wouldn't be an immediate start date and there would be independent checks and scrutiny. Murdering doctors and nurses are extremely rare. The people caring for the the person dying, the patient needing a transplant and performing any autopsy for suspicious deaths are different people so unless there's dark network of corrupt medical professionals you know of that's just unfounded fear mongering.
