Amen to that TSC!
I agree with both sides of the story here. I was faced with this very decision just over 2 months ago. When my dad died we as a family were asked did we want his organs donated. Now in his case it was a very bad motorcycle accident and not many organs could be used but things like eyes and such could have been. My opinion was if there is somebody out therer that needs them then they can have them.
Now it is true that some wife beating murderer could be the reciepient but so could a small child who has never seen his new puppy! I tried to ask myself "What would daddy want?" Well daddy was a giver and would help anybody out in any way he could so I know he would have said "take them".
I don't see anyway that could be devised to screen organ reciepients based on their criminal history or status. That would be like saying, "Well Mr.?????, we can give you a heart transplant becasus you have a history or domestic violence and a DUI so we are sorry but your going to die in the next few days when your heart quits" I know that is a very harsh and extreme case but that would be the logic behind all decisions.
I say if I have something left that is still good and somebody else can use it then let them have it. If my organs end up in the body of a wife beater then when he meets his judgement it will be his to answer for.
