The medical establishment makes millions on transplants.

The real hero’s the donors make nothing.

Blood and bone marrow don’t seem like a bad idea, because they can replenish themselves, but organs... I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to start that sort of thing.

Talk about an incentive for them to toss more “insurrectionists” behind bars.

Incrementalism sure to continue from there.

Have these people been reading their little red book too much and validating their decisions with their Chinese fellow travelers?

If this goes thru then sooner rather than later someone wil be slaughtered by one of these released monsters

Finding new and novel ways to release monsters into society seems to be something demonrats love to do..

A fair exchange. Add a vasectomy(mandatory)to it as a long rap sheet will pass on to their offspring. Norplant for women on welfare long-term.

Coerced volunteering? Yes but look at who we’re dealing with. David Crosby bought his way out of drug dependency.

Isn’t it against federal law to sell organs for anything of value?

This is similar to something I’ve been arguing for years to shorten stays on Death Row.

It costs about $40,000 a year to keep someone locked up in prison. If they’re on Death Row, offer then half that amount, $20,000, to be paid to their designated beneficiary, for each year between their present age and the age of 72 to drop all appeals and accept immediate execution of sentence.

If they’re 30, pay their beneficiary $840,000 once they’ve taken the ride on ‘Ol Sparky. If they have any humanity at all (which admittedly might be a stretch), they’ll weigh the benefit to their loved ones versus spending the rest of their worthless life in prison, hoping to die of natural causes before they exhaust all appeals.

Actually not a bad idea. Establish the precedent that “donating” to politicos and their families gets rewards.
Then, when internment camps are filling up with non-commie trash chaff there will be a procedure in place. This is an alternative to enslavement — which is the goal of the DNC.

How many years off would someone get for donating a Wurlitzer to the “Church” of Satanology?

“ that would permit prisoners to donate their organs in exchange for reduced sentences.”

Doing their best to emulate communist China .

Despite the facially horrific look of this, how could this bill be changed to be benevolent?

1) Giving certain donations can require extensive and expensive aftercare, sometimes lasting the rest of the life. Even if done for genuinely humane reasons, prison systems should not be on the hook to pay for it.

2) Some donations have a very low compatibility rate, so could there be a “donate to a rare compatible person” clause?

3) I’m sure there are many improvements beyond these.
