Inmates and Organ Donations
This is a really interesting article. I never knew that inmates weren't allowed to donate their organs after receiving a death sentence. Some inmates have been able to donate their organs, but it was if they died in a hospital. My main problem with this is that a killer's kidney is no different from a non-killer's kidney. One woman quoted in the article says that she wouldn't care even if she had to have a killer's heart transplanted into her. Many people are desperate for any organ donation. There may be something different in a killer's brain, but we aren't talking about doing brain transplants. That wouldn't work out for a variety of other reasons. I just do not understand why a liver or kidney transplant, for example, can't be done.
