Using convicted felons as organ donors - Lets Beef

**Shodan** · #1 10-25-2017, 01:54 AM

Considering the tremendous demand for donated organs, society clearly needs a reliable source for them - and I have located one!

My suggestion is simple: Convicted felons would be automatically and irrevocably registered as organ donors (unless their conviction is overturned).

We wouldn't even have to artificially speed up their demise. Even if we wait until they die normally, this is a HUGE potential source of organs, and it's not harming anybody because you only collect the organs AFTER they are dead. Also, it might serve as deterrent to people who don't like that idea.

Thoughts?

I bet some people wouldn't be happy getting the organs of a rapist.

I have an issue with the idea that a human being (or their parts) can be owned. There are already many parallels to slavery in the prison industrial complex from the extremely low wages they are paid to manufacture stuff to the fact that many privatized prisons, particularly in the U.S. can be bought and sold on the stock market and are allowed to lobby politicians concerning legislation. On top of that, now you want to add the idea that they no longer own their own bodies but it belongs to the state to do with it as it pleases including registering it in an organ bank without the prisoner's consent? Convicted felons may have done some fucked up things, but there's a line between punishing someone for transgressions against society and stripping them of human dignity. However despicable their acts may have been, this, I think crosses the line into stripping human dignity when you're essentially saying they no longer have the rights to their own organs.
