Many people have been expanding their culinary horizons over the last few years - I know I have. But what if you fancy a real change - something truly out of the ordinary?
Let's imagine for the sake of this discussion that Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination. If she did, could she choose Bill to be her Vice Presidential candidate, and if the Clinton-Clinton ticket won the election, would he be eligible to be Vice President? (I'm talking here about the legalities of the situation rather than whether such a move is likely or politically wise).
The Jigsaw Man is a 1967 science-fiction short story by Larry Niven (you can read it in the collection: Tales of Known Space). In the story, criminals convicted of capital crimes are forced to donate all their organs to be used as spare body parts, thus saving the lives of others and repaying their debt to society. However, although the law was initially enacted with the good intention of making the death penalty less of a waste, the demand for organs subsequently caused legislators to repeatedly lower the bar for execution. In short, it's a story of good intentions leading down a bad path. If you read the story, I promise that you will never forget it.
