Sure, harvesting the organs of executed criminals sounds like pleasant and morally unproblematic work. But Matt is ignoring the lessons of John Carpenter Presents Body Bags, Treehouse of Horror IX, and, in a somewhat broader sense, Nightmare on Elm Street, Idle Hands, Jessica Alba’s upcoming movie The Eye and any number of other supernaturally-themed transplant films (some of them no doubt inspired by real events).
In general postmortem recidivism is a topic that’s too often left unacknowledged by the prison reform movement.
UPDATE: The Nabob reminds me of Body Parts, an argument for my thesis that I had inexplicably ignored. If the Q. wasn’t already E.D.-ed, surely it must now be considered so.
