Re: I don't understand all the hate

You can use people for all those things without actually trusting them, calculating the benefits of contact against the risks. It requires one to see all people as dangerous by default, but considering how many folks grow up in abusive homes, ignored by authority figures, sometimes that perspective makes more sense than expecting help to come from any direction.

But the OP is mocking people and implying they're stupid for going to the hospital to get treated because she thinks the doctor might try to make them die in order to harvest their organs. Come on.

Sorry, but you DO have to trust some people for some necessary things. Not everything, but you have to trust that your doctor probably won't try to kill you, that your waiter probably won't steal your credit card info, that your taxi driver probably won't rape you. This doesn't require trusting them personally because you deem them trustworthy, it requires trusting that there are safeguards that usually work built into the system that makes the likelihood of them abusing you fairly unlikely, because living in other ways is a horrifying non-life.

Re: I don't understand all the hate

OP is giving reasons why one might not want to put oneself on the donor list, they didn't say anything about just not going to the hospital. Hence, using doctors while being suspicious of them, when you have a choice in the matter.

Avoiding hospitals except when unavoidable, not using credit cards, or refusing to ride in taxis don't strike me as a "horrifying non-life". I live that life, not because of trust issues, but because of being-broke issues, lol. Not saying there aren't better reasons to trust, but those are particularly poor examples.

Also, safeguards that usually work? Seriously? What safeguards keep your waiter from spitting in your food? A doctor from giving you the wrong diagnosis? A driver from being a nut? These are risks that most of us accept, but they are risks, and you don't exactly have to dig deep to find millions of stories where that trust was badly betrayed. Like I said, it's not an unfounded paranoia, paranoia though it is.
