Should a death row inmate be allowed to choose to die by organ donation?

Why not? Because some people in power might have a relative that needs a transplant and all of a sudden they are handing out death sentences by the crapload.

Appeal.
 
I say sure. In fact death row immates should be used in lab testing. Why harm innocent mice when you can do tests on real humans? Depends on the crime of course but if they're in death row I'm assuming they did something more then smoke a joint or steal a coffee.
 
you don't die by organ donation.

I do see no problem with allowing those that wish to donate their organs, but doctors would have to devise a method of euthanasia that does not render the organs useless. Also, many inmates have had lifestyles which may render their bodies unsuitable.

just keep taking organs til they die.

that would be about the worst means of execution ever devised.

Depends which organ. Some are redundant, some are a single point of failure, such as the brain or heart. 😉

Dad lifestyle...

Picture not suitable for anyone!
 
Not a fan of the death penalty, but they should be given the option, assuming they are candidates (IE no blood borne illnesses). For lifers (prison, not ATOT) they should also be given the voluntary option of assisted suicide by organ harvest followed by lethal injection.
 
This [Dr Danco character from "Dearly Devoted Dexter"] is how organs should be donated from inmates:

A surgeon who mutilates people while keeping them alive. He shaves his patients, then removes everything in a body that is not essential for life (arms, legs, penis, teeth, tongue, etc.), leaving his victims unable to move or communicate, driving them insane. His procedure also involves chemicals that cause brain damage

I've always believed deathrow inmates should be used in stunts which cause them to die [ie: car is driven over a cliff and explodes on impact]... or use them in movies such as Saw without special effects. 🙂

This. Admittedly, a lot of prisoners won't be healthy enough to have worthwhile organs, but it's worth a try. It MUST be their choice though.

what the fuck is wrong with you
 
What exactly is "die by organ donation"?

A doctor will have to end his life beforehand (and in such a way that the organs aren't contaminated with a drug), and that process isn't going to be a very popular part of the equation.
 
Um their organs are donated now. I saw an article where this guy had a hand transplant from a death row inmate a while back.

Gives a whole new meaning to being caught red handed. "Sir it was not me, it was the previous owner of these hands!"

That is cool though, that they can actually do that now. Beats having a darth vader hand, as cool as the concept seems. 😛

yeah, you could put the guy under, open him up, take out all the organs, heart last. Wouldn't have to worry about the suturing up the bleeds too much. Might have trouble finding a surgeon to do it though.

You have no idea how long it takes from sentencing until a death row inmate is actually put to death, do you?
