As of today, felons who have committed grave crimes have just as much access to donor organs as innocent people. Should these people who have potentially taken a life have a right to an organ that could potentially save theirs?
This is the question that is addressed in the article 'Should Violent Felons Recieve Organ Transplants?'. The author's opinion is that they shouldn't.
I'm not sure if I agree with him. I think that we need to decide depending on the person's crime, and if it is thier first time commiting the crime. For example, if someone killed a person, got out of jail, and killed another person, they shouldn't recieve the organ. But if someone broke into a person's house once, they should be able to recieve the organ - you never know who they will become.
So, in some ways I agree, but in some ways I disagree with this article.
