Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ok so

Because the context is here, and my anxiety is all encompassing

Is this something to be aware of if/when I start dating again?

While black market organ trafficking is real, this version of it is urban legend stuff.

Obviously, one should be cautious when dating new people anyway. Tell friends and family your plans, stick to public places with plenty of other people around, etc.

Depends a bit on the country I guess, but you definitely, absolutely should make sure to:

Always meet new people at public places where they know they will be seen
Not let them take you anywhere else, especially places you don't know or expected to go to
Inform someone where you are and when to check on you (or ask them to accompany you if that's an option)

Not necessarily because there are loads of people longing for your organs, but there's tons of other stuff that could happen.

Plot twist: this was their seventh wedding anniversary and she did the same thing two years ago.

Other people have answered the organ harvesting. As for if chloroform works that fast, no generally it doesn't.

One would not drink chloroform. Your body would object. Strongly.

It's not something you hide in a drink.

Even holding a chloroformed rag in front of someone's nose and mouth doesn't work like in the movies.
