In some nations the organs of executed prisoners are routinely harvested and made available for transplants. Defend or refute this practice using an acceptable ethical argument
There are real problems in using organs from executed prisoners without their approval for donation. Given their incarceration, it is difficult to see how one could get around questions of the effects of coercion and manipulation on individual autonomy, which would then require that the choice of donation be made prior to incarceration. It is difficult to assess the truth of the stories but in countries where this is allowed, the money incentives paid for the organs to court and prison officials appear to have affected the sentencing guidelines and times of execution.
