More hours of work - my personal experience

Last 4-5 days, I was busy with personal works. Generally left home at about 0730 hr and was back only at around 2100 hr.

It is highly stressful to be on some work. Having headache, and feeling like isolated from family. Though I did personal work, still, the feeling of away from home is there.

I think, we have to find alternative means to improve output by using productive tools. Else, human labour is not sustainable for same person in the long run.

70 hours work week

LINK

70 hr for 6 working days averages to 11+ hr per day. Add another 2-3 hr for transport. Unmarried may be able to spend that much time, but married persons with children can't. If 70 hr a week is implemented, soon, there can be resignations. In present day life, both husband and wife have to work to meet children education, own a house and have money for post retired life. 

Again as children grow up, health of own and taking care of aged parents will need time for the family.

Work from home wherever possible may allow for personnel to work extra hours. But, not true for all organizations.

Already, we have growing number family court cases. More hours of work along with travel time will add to family quarrels due to work stress, uncared children and chaos in the society depending upon how the children will shape up. To address this, organisations should be able to provide facilities for creche, schools, medical facilities for family, either by individual organization or by joining hands with others.

Even then, allocating 13-14 hr a day will disturb family life. In the long run, it will have negative impact on everyone.

Extra hours for national growth can be added by increased automation, use of machines and tools where possible. 
Nation's growth can be achieved by wise spending of the revenue. Money spent should add to growth of assets, not for paying day-to-day living.

Organ donation - life after life

Personally, I feel donation of our organs to the needy after our life shall be part of our will that should be executed as a first step to claim other assets by our children or beneficiaries.

As per government procedure, we don't have rights on our body for self donation. Our family members have to agree for this. This is  unfortunate. 

What is the use of burning or burying, when it will be useful to several people.

Government should make organ donation compulsory. Instead of only death certificate, another certificate for having donated or harvested useful organs also should be made compulsory for authorities of graveyards or burial grounds to permit and complete the after death activities as per their faith.

The following link gives information about the organ donation and it's importance. It also states the maximum time by which different organs can be harvested.

I am committed and informed my family about organ donation. I had also stated the same to my well-wishers for execution.
