As our population in the United States ages, the number of end-stage organ failures is increasing exponentially, so the demand for organ donations is also increasing.

With the birthrate dropping, there certainly aren't enough young people earning Darwin awards to meet the demand.

China solved that problem by using prisoners as a means of organ harvesting, usually against their will.

In what should be a shocking move, but really isn't anymore, some Democrats in Massachusetts looked at the Chinese model, and said, "Hey, we have prisoners who have organs!"

So, state representatives Carlos González, Judith A. Garcia, Bud L. Williams, and Russell E. Holmes introduced a bill in the Massachusetts legislature to establish an "incarcerated individual bone marrow and organ donation program."

Check out the terms of the donation program:

That's right: Massachusetts prisoners can get a whopping 60 days, or maybe up to a whole year, off their sentences for donating body parts.

The law isn't specific on whether that's for each individual donation or if the time is cumulative.

If a prisoner were to donate bone marrow five times, a kidney, and a lung, could they get two and a half years off, or would it just be the one year?

It reminds me a lot of how Kamala Harris' justice department in California fought so hard at the Supreme Court to extend prisoners' sentences so California wouldn't lose the slave labor it was using to fight fires.

Because let's not forget that the 13th Amendment still allows slavery for incarcerated individuals.

But trading someone's freedom to risk their life fighting fires proved to be rife with corruption, and Kamala Harris's department beefed up prison sentences for misdemeanors to get more bodies in the fire camps.

I can't see how a program getting prisoners to trade their body parts, which sell for tens of thousands of dollars, for freedom isn't going to end up in even worse corruption.

With that in mind:

If this bill passes, be careful who you drink with. You might wake up in the basement of a Massachusetts prison sitting in a bathtub full of ice.
