Is this a good idea or not? In general, prisoners aren't believed to have many rights in most countries, but is right over your posthumous body one of them?
I saw this on the news the other day. In my opinion, using convicts organs ain't bad AS long as it's not the reason they're being executed. I heard that guy in the footage say that they sorta kill by the organ buyers demands. That's fucked up. It's like the plot for that one movie.....
Wasn't there a series of sci-fi stories about this?
China is so weird.
>Wasn't there a series of sci-fi stories about this?
You're probably thinking of Larry Niven's stories (The Jigsaw Man, and the Gil Hamilton stories)
Wasn't The Island about rasing clones of humans, and harvesting the organs?
>>2 here. Wow! >>8 is right! The movie I had in mind was The Island. I guess I forgot because it wasn't a particularly great movie. In fact, I just watched it to kill time. I thought any of those movies showing at the time would do, but only The Island had the possibility that I'd see Scarlett Johanssen's tits. I walked away disappointed.
