22. No one argument changes a person's mind,

but hitting people from different perspectives over and over may eventually cause something to stick.

Here’s another possible response for the toolbox, with the emphasis on bodily autonomy and government intrusion.

Ask if it would be acceptable for the government to dictate to you (whoever you’re talking to) that they must give up a kidney, part of their liver or bone marrow without a choice to prevent someone else from dying.

It’s not up to the government to interfere with or dictate your choices about sacrificing to keep someone else alive, imo. And the person is not a criminal or evil who chooses not to use their body that way, or who says ‘I’m not ready’ to do that right now.
