Here's the problem when you say that in a war. You're alive, you're an enemy combatant and/or civilian, you are now dead, victim of a tragic mishap or some sort, and your lungs are still viable, cut the fuck out and sold to fund the war. If you were lucky, there was still anesthesia left.
It's a terrible proposition to even consider accepting transplants from warzones. It's begging for warcrimes. Even if the state says harvesting from live people is illegal, it's a war. A lot falls under the cracks.
You can just regulate it and make the data public. War crimes? Everyone sees it. Only people who are allowed to harvest them can do it and that also solves all the other stuff. I think thats a pretty good solution. Also, nobodys funding a war with organs, they are used to save lives.
Tell us you know nothing about anything without telling us you know nothing about anything...
