Throughout my discussions, I have been primarily focused on the concern with allowing death row inmates to donate their organs, but what are the discussions on the other side of the argument. Many resources suggest that death row inmates have possibly affected or infected their organs with drugs, smoking, etc. and shouldn't even be considered for organ donation. Not only should they not be considered, but who would want someone with bad organs to be inside of their own body replacing their own organs. Another issue is that organ donation is an extremely long process revolving around finding the right match and making sure the entire process runs smoothly. This process is not only timely, but expensive. Therefore, many perhaps think that a death row inmate organ donation is worth too much time and money to even be considered for an organ donation.
The thought process between the two sides both poses very valid arguments, but in your opinion what side to you think is more ethical?
