Should death row prisoners be utilized for medical testing?
Find answers to your legal question.





Should death row prisoners be utilized for medical testing?

Such as stem cell research, new medications, and other cutting edge science?
Additional Details
This is not as bad as it sounds. Throughout history, prisoners were tortured, abused, sent off to isolated islands, and other extreme treatment.

Why not. They are a waste of time and money anyway.

They could be used as organ diners too - they won't need them where they are going.

Would be nice, but it would have to be up to the individual. Unfortunately I guess they have some sort of rights too.


Ok, Time 4 plan B
yes. I feel if some one was going to die, why use a healthy animal

Because although they didn`t give their victims any rights they in fact have rights, not so if I was in charge ,but there you go

Maybe as an alternative to being put to death. Its one of the best and most thoughtful q's I've seen on here in ages.

Indecency in history should hardly excuse, or used as an argument to allow, unconscionable behavior.

And also that pesky eighth amendment.
And, what of the ones who are innocent? You put too much faith in the justice system to be infallible.

Such a thing would likely just be the beginning of a slippery slope. The Zimbardo experiment should be a strong warning against lowering the standards of decency for those incarcerated.

If they agree I suppose it is ok. People who haven't committed any crimes have medical testing all the time for money for cookies and juice or giftcards. So why should prisoners be any different. I don't know where they would spend their gift cards. Their local commisary maybe,

No, two wrongs do not equal one right.
Prisoners are human beings. They have rights.


I_am_not_bad
If this question is for real you are not better than them.. they did not regard human beings as such and having dignity..if you regard them as inferior humans.. what right do you have to condemn them for their beliefs..
The world " utilised" alone is atrocious.. you don't utilise another human being

Not without their permission.

Sure. Give them a way to make money and provide for their loved ones while incarcerated.

Yeah. But I wouldn't want to be the geeky scientist trying to monitor a gangsta.
