In a revised and updated edition, this book continues the debate on whether transplantable organs of executed capital felons should be used to save lives. It provides the reader with relevant data and information necessary for making an informed and intelligent judgment of the matter. Every conceivable constitutional argument on behalf of capital felons and their families is discussed, along with all of the societal pros and cons. Based on precedents by the United States Supreme Court, the author argues that the constitution supports the removal of transplantable organs from executed capital felons.
