- Ya just don't get it Sizzie. This wasn't a *person*. It was a human
- body with no brain in it.
- But it's no suprise that you have no problem killing those BORN WANTED
- CHILDREN by denying them organs from a human body with no brain. None
- at all Suzzie. No skull either. Zero survial. Zero life. The *only*
- positive thing those parents saw was the chance to let their
- misfortune save the lives of some children. People like you took away
- that chance, and killed those children.
- I hope you're happy mucous brain.
