Using unwanted adults as an organ supply has already been suggested. The ! basis is that condemned criminals would lose the "right" to control what ! happens to their body after their death, and all their organs would be ! available for transplants. The idea is that they just may save more lives ! than they destroyed. ! ! When the politicians get hold of this, it will undoubtedly become law. ! After all, the "people" can extend their lifes with it. It will also doom ! the movement to do away with the death penalty. Finally, you can expect the ! death penalty to be applied to steadily less severe crimes, until to many ! moving violations gets you sent to the organ banks. ! !
