Sir Liam Donaldson, the Chief Medical Officer, is expected to recommend that the law in Britain be changed so that instead of people donating their organs for transplants, said organs would be "harvested" automatically after death unless the patient specifically makes his wishes known otherwise.

I haven't a dog in this fight, since I spent so much time in the tropics that not even Dr. Frankenstein would want my liver and lights, but I find it rather telling that Britain has a government that not only believes that our lives are not our own, but that our bodies are only ours by sufferance as well.

Since locking up real criminals is too much like hard work, the British government decided that the best way to fight violent crime is to treat the general public like the enemy and deny them even decorative replica swords. It's times like this that I'm glad I'm based in Washington State, as I have no intention of surrendering the daisho that I hauled around the world for twenty years and now has pride of place in my office.

Heck, even Britain's Jedi are worried about this one.
