I mean there are some really big murderers and terrorists out there we have in our prisons do you think those ppl should be used as test subjects for all our new inventions, medicines, crash tests, etc. They are going to die anyway we may as well put them to good use.

To take away the possibility of change in someone is to take take away the very thing that make us human. Constitution or not, that would be highly in-human. Picture your only brother on death row, yes picture that! would you still give in to have him take the place of a laboratory rat?

Would you want the karma of causing that kind of suffering (even if you, and society, felt the person deserved it)? I sure wouldn't.
We're all going to die anyway (at some point). There are ways of testing products that don't require ANY live subject be used...those on death row need not have years worth of appeals and when the (death) sentence comes down, it shouldn't be long before it's carried out and they stop living off of taxpayer's money.
They shouldn't be kept alive on death row long enough to be a test subject for anything.

No, the human is a conscious person. These people are not evil. They were set up to be evil by their genes and upbringing. These people should be rehabilitated to make right their wrongs. Them rotting away in a prison is not good for us, victims, or society. Set them up with a job, small house, whatever, and don't make us pay for humane death sentences or cost ofd living in a jail cell...And medicines should be tested on non-conscious animals, or use testing that does not require the use of a living organism.

That is unconstitutional. It is called "cruel and unusual punishment." The Nazi's did that with their war prisoners and they all got prosecuted for war crimes for it. Some of these people are not guilty and they have been exhonerated 30 years later. Do we want to torture other human beings because they committed a crime? That in itself sounds criminal. Just remember that.

I have a feeling that would be a violation of their 8th Amendment rights (cruel and unusual punishment) under the U.S. Constitution.

Nope vengence accomplishes nothing, not to mention the human rights violation and the instances where the innocent have been convicted.

No. Prisoners still have rights.
