How many people would executed for supply the demand of fresh organs?
The purpose of this policy is not to execute people for the sake of taking their organs, or to execute more people to meet a quota of organs. You are mistaken.
It's very simple, when you kill a criminal X, pe/dofile, terrorist, serial killer, by lethal injection, or by hanging, or by drowning, or whatever method. Instead of that guillotine him, and take his organs to save lives of people waiting for a donator in the waiting list.
That is harmless and painless. Electricity hurts for 8 to 15 seconds, and a lot. Suffocation, and drowning also, it can last more than a minute of pain. Guillotine is the best method of executing a prisoner in the 21 st century, but that is a detail.
I never said that we will execute more prisoners to harvest their organs, not at all. It is about replacing the current used methods, by the guillotine, who is the cheapest, fastest, and among the only method to allow organ harvestings.
Of course, if the inmate is sane.
The goal of using the guillotine as I said before, is not to supply the demand of organs, but obtain organs from the death sentencing of prisoners.
So- guillotine them and harvest their organs against their will?
That might fit into cruel and unusual.
Less cruel than the lethal injection, and the eletric chair, and drowning/suffocation. The guillotine is painless, and swift. Also, the death inmate is dead, it does not change anything for him to have his organs harvested or not.
The inmate in his death, is taken out of the frame, he do not exist anymore in the paint, and others lifes could be saved by his organs. Let's say you have a wife, a daughter, a father, or a brother, or a friend, in need for an organ, hopefully not, but if that was the case, you would perhaps have changed your mind about this field of possibility.
Let's say 50 terrorists made a terrorist attack, and you want to execute them. Are you going to waste money to prepare 50 lethal injections, or to bother 50 soldiers to shoot them, when you can use a single guillotine to kill them all of them in less than 10 minutes, and at the same time, obtain their organs if sane.
If you were to have a lot of death sentence inmates, you could kill all of them in a single hour. Just saying. Instead of making them wait for years, or kill one once a month, you could just obtain a gain of time.
Organs of inmates could either help save lifes, or be sold in the market, which would generate money, money that could help the country. You do not gain money out of hanging, out of the electric chair, and out of the lethal injection.
This could save families and change lives. It has just a lot of potential. And also, a country could use organs to give them to foreign people in need, for diplomatic leverage, but let's not go that far.
