Organ donation issues

I've had two "organ donation" issues already:
one if to allow taking organs from deceased people, to which I said yes, dead people don't need them anymore anyway. However, since then it says "organd donation is compulsory" whis is extremely misleading since only organs from dead people are taken and no living person is ever forced to do donation :rolleyes:
second, if to allow payment for organ donations, which I disallowed since it would create great social inequality with the poor selling their bodies to the rich and other ugly stuff :rolleyes:

Anyway, I've got now a very strange combination where I was really wtf when reading it:
... organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and organ donation rates have hit a new low.

I'd say at least the first one should be fixed so it doesn't display a misleading statement anymore:
... organ donation from deceased persons is compulsory...

Seeing as how everyone dies eventually, and at that point it is compulsory for their organs to be removed, I'd say it's perfectly fair for it to say 'organ donation is compulsory'.
And don't worry about the apparent contradictions, it makes the game far more interesting.
