Watch the video. It presents both sides.
I think the argument "they will be destroyed anyway" is too simplistic.
If kids born with a certain genetic defect where we know they will die within a few months, should we harvest organs from them? Of course not.
I also don't like the argument of "people are suffering and need their diseases cured." That's a utilitarian argument. We don't think it is morally permissible to have poor people sell their organs to suffering people do we?
That's what I hate about this debate. The lack of ethical thinking by most.
