Not Accepting Organ Donations from Death row Inmates

 Something that really caught my attention in the www.texastribune.org was a story titled "Death Row Unlikely to be Source for Organ Donations".    Last year in Oregon a death row inmate, Christian Longo, started a campaign to allow all condemned inmates to be allowed to donate their organs. This inmates argument was that if he were to potentially help save someone's life with his own organs, one pre planned execution could potentially save 6 to 10 lives. Longo made his plea, but was shortly denied by Oregon officials. Not one state allows death row inmates to donate their organs, while there are 11,000 people in Texas alone that are on a waiting list to accept an organ transplant. I believe this argument should be revisited. Criminal justice and medical experts say, "that the idea of recovering organs from willing convicted murders is fraught with moral, ethical and medical challenges that make it unlikely to ever be an option". That statement may be relevant, but i agree with Longo, that he should have the right to help saving someone else's life, if his own, is just going to be wasted.
