Mobile Execution Chamber aka Death Van
The country that executed more than four times as many convicts as the rest of the world combined last year is slowly phasing out public executions by firing squad in favor of lethal injections. Unlike the United States and Singapore, the only two other countries where death is administered by injection, China metes out capital punishment from specially equipped "death vans" that shuttle from town to town.

Makers of the death vans say the vehicles and injections are a civilized alternative to the firing squad, ending the life of the condemned more quickly, clinically and safely. The switch from gunshots to injections is a sign that China "promotes human rights now," says Kang Zhongwen, who designed the Jinguan Automobile death van in which "Devil" Zhang took his final ride.

lol...it took me like a minute to realize this isn't about whatever that chinese car is that failed US safety standards horribly, where they said you were likely to die in a head on 30 mph crash
 
I'm surprised they don't just do what the Nazis did and stick a hose in the tail pipe and drive around.

That's pretty wild though.

More efficient to harvest the organs that way?

China's critics contend that the transition from firing squads to injections in death vans facilitates an illegal trade in prisoners' organs.

Injections leave the whole body intact and require participation of doctors. Organs can "be extracted in a speedier and more effective way than if the prisoner is shot," says Mark Allison, East Asia researcher at Amnesty International in Hong Kong. "We have gathered strong evidence suggesting the involvement of (Chinese) police, courts and hospitals in the organ trade."

Seems fair to me.

Why not let them repay their debt to society in a meaningful way!

I don't buy it. Splattering the un harvestable brains seems like a better way to get organs than pumping them full of poison.

I think the argument against their use would be the potential of abuse. Say Chairman Mao finds out his kidneys are failing, and needs a replacement ASAP. Lucky Joe, who happens to be a perfect donor, is tossed in prison. No due process, execution.

Also, the potential for profit would encourage more and more of these lethal injections.

Exactly. Most of the ones in prison are the migrant unemployed workers stealing food anyways.
