With so many people sick and on a mile long waiting list for organs, why exclude felons, whats wrong with that if they are healthy. do you think a dying person is going to care what body it came from!

You would have to trust the government more than I do. Think of all those organs, so easily available! All we have to do is
1) Use a form of execution like a bullet to the head, or guillotine, to minimize harming the desired organs
2) Increase the number of death penalty crimes
3) Turn a blind eye to the fact that black men will be the usual "donors." Also turn a blind eye to our own evil motivations.
4) Pretend that all the condemned prisoners freely choose to donate, and that no coercion will occur
Even if you are talking about felons instead of condemned prisoners, coercion will occur. You can't get away from it. People want organs! What do you think they will do to get them? Don't you know healthy people, living people, are selling their organs now?
Terrifying. Better to look elsewhere than set up evil incentives like this!

Did anyone actually say it was because he was an excon? It could also have been that he was not a good candidate (healthy enough) to survive a transplant. A friend suddenly got too sick after being on the transplant list for 2-3 years. That was why he was rejected. As a result, he lived an additional 6 months longer than if he had had the operation. Also, a heart transplant is not the usually the best or only option for Congestive Heart Failure. I am truly sorry about your friend. I really hope he lives well.

For one thing! You dont have to be on death row to have a felony. For example in the state of Mo. Three DWI`s will get you a felony but not put you on death row. Writing a bad check over $500 dollars is a felony. and thousands of people do it and it will not beput you on death row. The point is it doesnt matter if you have a felony and are free you can still donate. But if you are in prison then that will change some things.

The ethical concern is that, as most organ donations come from deceased donors, the state will get into the business of killing inmates for organs. This situation allegedly is commonplace in China.

No problem. In China they have surgeons in trailers right on the killing field where convicts are executed (with a single bullet to the neck) to harvest their organs and skin within minutes of death.
Unfortunately so long as chemicals are used to execute in the USA, the organs of executed criminals can't be used. More's the pity.

Don't ask people on here about health care issues related to criminals (especially if you are speaking of the kind of criminal who has crossed the border illegally into the US to try to support their families back home).
Apparently, breaking the law disqualifies people from any kind of human compassion. I am surprised these people let themselves go get healthcare, if they know that they are speeding in their cars (breaking the law) or crossing in the middle of the street instead of at crosswalks (breaking the law).
Actually, I never should be allowed to see a doctor again! I drank underage! Had sex underage! I am a horrible horrible person, and I deserve nothing that law abiding citizens' tax monies pay for....

Because the liberals create the laws of punishing convicts based on the assumption that the convicts are innocent.
Its the same reason they try to limit the death penalty.

I agree that if the recipient knows the nature of the donor, it should be all right. Of course, this is for live donors. Executed prisoners are usually given poison to kill them.
All donors are screened for health issues.

For one, there is more drugs in prison than outside.
Then the same sex in prison, specially male prison? Study the prison system, before you make a comment!!

Off hand I can't think of any reason why not, provided the recipient was aware of the nature of the donor.
