Should prisoners on death row be screened for possible organ matches?
Since they are on death row, they are going to die anyway. And organs matches are already hard to find. I wonder what the complications of making this legal would be. I understand that the execution is supposed to be part of the "punishment" but isn’t death enough anyway? And there are people who die everyday because they cannot find matching organs - Innocent people at that. Since these prisoners have most likely murdered some kind of innocent victim wouldn’t it just make things equal?
I’m interested to see if anyone else has ever thought of this. And yes, I started thinking about this because of the storyline of Grey’s Anatomy.
Besides the diseases they should, its should be a way of repenting from their sins and do something good before they die. I live is South Africa and I wish we had death penalty here. People kill for no reason and for stupid things, and prisoners are enjoying staying in jail because it relaxes them and they can even further their studies. It is shocking! Infact they it should be compalsory for them to donate their organs. Especially if they used to kill.

well the problem is that you can’t force them to give up their organs. Aside from that, prison is dirty, lots of diseases.

I think they should be fried with everything intact.
I’d be pissed if someone gave me Ted Bundys liver.
For the record.I was at FSU and lived across the street in a dorm,from Chi Omega,when all of it happened.I was also in the bar where Bundy was that night.
I’d be pissed.

No. They should not.
The death row should no longer be in place.
Just because someone killed someone doesnt mean they have to die too, that is just not equal. The person died, doesn’t mean two people have to die. Death row needs to be banned.
Even if they don’t they can’t go around screening and taking organs, those people on death row have rights too! If it ever came to it it should eb by choice.

good idea, to know when they can harvest organs would work well, but it should be up to the individual but u could give them some extras for it.
i saw a show where a hardcore racist got a kidney from a black man, that is all i remember but like grays makes u think.
thanks.

noble idea, but if a person has been in prison, they can’t even donate blood.

Well in the US you guys kill them with poison. So that would make the organs non viable for transplant. Also their would be legal issues with taking someones organs without consent. Taking an executed man’s organs without consent and not a normal person’s breaks the principal of non discrimination, which is a very important legal and ethical principle.
What they are doing in the UK is making a law that says you have to opt out if you don’t want to donate your organs on your death. So the surgeons can harvest anyone.
In China they do take the organs from executed prisoners. But there they shoot them so the organs are fine.

No. Humans are not farms for someone’s organs, involuntarily.

not unless the volunteer and have been extensively screened for health.

Never will happen. The prisoner still owns his body and the organs inside of it. The prisoner still is protected by the constitution. Many suits have been filed for poor treatment of prisoners even the ones on death row. Also organ donation is still on a voluntary basis, so having a person be on death row makes no difference. Also the person is scheduled to die for the crime that they committed by a court of law. They are not scheduled to die, because someone needs an organ. If the prisoner choices to volunteer his organs then that is cool.
Wasn’t there a prisoner who volunteered his body to be the first "virtual human"? They froze him and cut him into very thin slices and then took computer images of each slice. Still he volunteered his body.
