Donating these organs won't hurt their lives one little bit. There's no weird medical experimentation here - just a bit of generousity, a little time in the hospital, and an innocent life saved.

Normal people do this all the time too - there's 10% of all organ donations that come from living people - there are those organs that can be donated safely while you are alive. Often it's family, sometimes it's a random stranger who feels called to help someone. Someday it may well be me - I'm on a few registers.

This is one of the sickest most disgusting ideas I have ever seen or heard of. It just goes to show, just how much closer we are to having concentration camps here in America, and having our government treat us like the Nazis did those in Germany.

Not to mention the other real choice we have - let a prisoner out 180 days early, or watch a child/mother/brother/father/friend of yours die a slow death.

Let me give you readers a choice:

Lose a kidney or go to prison for 180 days.

What would you choose?

Sounds like a GREAT idea. There are several organs that can be donated from a living donor - some people volunteer, others do it for a loved one - but there is some redundancy there. Anyone can donate bone marrow - and it's so vital to find a match. Livers are a wonderful thing to donate - you can donate a minor lobe, and it will grow back! Kidneys - you can donate one just fine as long as they are healthy, that's all you need.

And people who need these organs will die without them. It sounds like a wonderful idea, and a wonderful way to pay some part of your debt to society.

I heard they wanted to donate their brains, but since 99% of the convicts were democrats, they were found not to have any! :)

Klingon69 - You seem to have a huge amount of hatred built up inside you. Perhaps you should consider discussing your feelings with a mental health professional.

Ok, so a convicted child molester can donate his *** and scrotal equipment for???

So how many people support the forced castration of babyrapers. How about the voluntary?
