Killer's quest: Allow organ donation after execution

[onodera]

I agree with you when it comes to mandatory organ donation for executed prisoners (that's just asking for trouble), but I don't see a problem with voluntary organ donation for executed prisoners

I don't see a problem with mandatory organ donation for all deceased if they're fit and fresh enough. They're dead, they don't care. And if they're not dead of old age, they're still, what's the word, obducted? No one is going to notice they've got a kidney missing.

I ain't lettin no carpetbagger harvest my organs.

[Barnabas]

Yes, which is likely his angle. He'll claim he wants to donate his organs but, gee wiz, lethal injection would ruin that so they'll just have to find a different way to kill him. Oh, you mean lethal injection is the only legal way to carry out an execution in Oregon? Well, I guess you can't execute me then...

Shoot him in the head repeated times?

[Gesewa]

They should take his organs. Even if they think something like "Well he probly did many drugs, theyre unhealthy organs".. Then give it to someone who wouldn't normally be able to qualify for the donor list.

I'm a doctor and I've seen many good people die because they can't qualify for the donor list or they can't get an organ in time. It's beyond stupid denying this man's request when he can save a life.

Carbon monoxide (CO)

[SlowwHand]

What?

[Docfeelgood]

I was thinking CO poisoning then harvest the organs. Lot better to put them under with anesthesia then harvest all the organs.

[Docfeelgood]

screening for HIV and Hepatitis would be mandatory.

[SlowwHand]

Harvest before execution? I agree that the execution should come first. I'm not THAT vindictive.

And yes, naturally. Just like any donor's organs are screened.

[Docfeelgood]

Even tho it sounds like a good idea, there is a odd feeling about harvesting organs from the condemned.

[SlowwHand]

I don't think the organs should be taken by force, like some have said. I think a willing donation is fine.

[Docfeelgood]

Many innocent men have been executed, just a thought

[giblets]

You can kill someone by force, but you can't take their organs? If someone deserves their body why are they being killed? That kind of deprives them of the ability to use it.

[ColdWizard]

This thread reminds me of the short story The Jigsaw Man.

[SlowwHand]

You can kill someone by force, but you can't take their organs? If someone deserves their body why are they being killed? That kind of deprives them of the ability to use it.

That's a stupid comparison. They're paying with their life because of a penalty they knew existed. I suppose a law could be written that stipulated that organs were forfeited, but I don't see it happening.
