SVU SEASON 19 EP 16 "DARE"
Okay interested to here everyones take and i Know I'm late but this is the episode about the kid who dies from a dare and the doctor takes it upon herself to harvest her organ for kids who need it right at that moment; and turns out shes forged over thirty cases without their parents conform.
Many are angry at Liv for following the law but for me im actually shocked at the hesitation. This epsode wasnt about the dying boy needing the heart it was about Consent. Sure maybe that specific surgeon dotted her I's and made sure the person was beyond saving before giving away their organs, but what about quack crook doctors who might choose to be negligent on the table because you're less deserving than someone else and just ship your heart??? Also, maybe it's western culture but where I'm from the dead deserve dignity and that doctor should have been considerate of differrent cultures and norms that may not align to hers. She was so matter of fact but to me that is organ trafficking??? helloo thats why there are laws. Not to stop the mother theresa's but to manage the many decedents. Okay That's my take. I was very annoyed that Liv regretted her desicion because by that doctor stealing the organs SHE actually put that boy who needed the heart at higher risk.
