I guess no government meddling is off the table in the UK

Zombies want my brain and now the state wants my kidneys.

Thoughts:

- Is the next step forbidding any sort of activity that is remotely unhealthy and therefore damaging to useful organs? Would they be banning alcohol in the UK? From what I hear, that wouldn't go over too well.

- There is of course the alternative option of allowing people to sell their organs. What we have right now is a price ceiling of $0 on organs, making the organ supply prohibitively small. But of course the idea of selling organs is icky, so we're not allowed to talk about that.

- Does this mean that even from the pro-choice mindset, abortion would be destruction of government property?
