In 1966, a young man who was imprisoned for murder donated a kidney to someone in Colorado Medical Center hospital. His way of making amends indirectly via an act of service and sacrifice.

Could prisoners of violent crimes be harvested, the proceeds being used to support widows and orphans they created? Or to offset the expense of trying and incarcerating them? Especially in cases where the death penalty has been called for.

These questions are rhetorical, I can see the slippery-slope here too, but if innocent law-abiding human beings are going to be used for spare parts, why not those guilty of murder, rape etc.?
