Do death row inmates qualify for organ transplants?
Discussion 'round the office today: Are people serving life sentences, or awaiting exection given medicine designed to prolong their lives? Like blood pressure medication, or insulin for diabetics? Also: do those on death row qualify to receive a donor organ if they get sick? Seems silly, what with the impending death and all, but I can imagine there'd be some civil rights conversations. Anybody?

I am sure they do, but I sure hope they do not get anything. If you ask me, they should have their organs harvested for others, then they burn on the chair!
Kind of tricky! If given a lethal injection, when do they start harvesting the guys organs? Of course they could do this! Give him a shot to put him to sleep - just sleep mind you! Cos pumping poison into him will render the organs useless! have a doctor come in and take the organs out of him, THAT will probably kill him anyhow! Kidney's liver, eye's, skin etc! Kind of gruesome but a fitting death for someone who has cold bloodedly killed someone else!!
There are themes with this, it is for effective. I study some thing a jointly as in the past approximately how promptly they execute convicts in China. while the gavel falls, it truly is directly to the carry guy's noose... My suggestion is to not flow there! What might take place in case you probably did flow to get an organ and dedicated against the regulation jointly as there? might they take the organ back?!!
They are entitled to all medication and medical help they require, but not organ transplants
i wouldn't my organs given to someone on death row. would you? it doesn't seem like doctors, medical staff or the foundations would allow it.
