 Pro As a Christian I wonder if it is a form of suicide. Do you think it is? INSTRUCTIONS 1. I am the PRO. I am not totally convinced if this is a good idea or not. I will ask the CON questions. 2. If you are a CON please do your best to answer. You can answer as a PRO or CON, Depending on what your view is. Please verify what side you are voting for before answering. 3. Enjoy the debate! Disclaimer! I do not mean to offend anyone who knows someone in prison by suggesting they could be allowed to die. I only mean this as a debate because I have been wondering about this for a while.  Con But to answer the"debate " topic I think prisoners should be able to donate minor organs like 1 lung or 1 kidney or a portion of the liver, Pancreas, And intestine. Because they must have done something really bad to get into jail for life or death row so I think you should keep them alive because they usually deserve what is happening to them. |

Pro If you were given the option of donating an organ(s) to someone in need instead of sitting on death row what would you choose? Disclaimer! I do not mean to offend anyone who knows someone in prison by suggesting they could be allowed to die. I only mean this as a debate because I have been wondering about this for a while.

as of 2013 all requests by death row inmates to donate their organs after execution have been denied by states. Additionally there is debate about whether current organ donation guidelines, Outlined in the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 and the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, Implicitly prohibit death row inmates from being organ donors.
Under that (correct) definition, Death row criminals should be allowed to donate organs, But i don't know if they can or not.
