I nearly forgot to post this...

OK, so I'm listening to the radio late last night, on comes a rather
grisly item about some families in Michigan who are suing the state
because they each had had children who'd died in hospital, and whose eyes
had been removed (for transplant) without their consent and, in some
cases, against their stated wishes.  The lawyer representing the families
is being interviewed, and he says "...and the family were unaware that a
harvester was even present..."

Say what?!?

He twice more talks about "harvesting".  The (British) interviewer
actually questions him over this terminology, and he chuckles and says,
"it's their word, not mine".

Just thought I'd share that.
