This article is not related to whether we should have
capital punishment or not. But it’s about how to execute the capital
punishment. I strongly consider the capital punishment by hanging till death
should be abolished or at least option should be given to convict whether his
execution should be done by hanging or “By donating maximum possible organs
till death”.
Yes that’s correct...... I strongly believe the capital
punishment execution should be done by donating maximum possible organ till
death; excluding brain (It can be used for research and scientific study). If
you look at the demand and supply of Organs (especially heart) there is huge
deficit. This will not solve the problem but it’s like maximum utilisation of
available resources! But more than that if you look from religious point of
view it will help the convict to reduce his/her sin; by giving life / quality
life to few people.
Now there may be debate whether patient or the family
members will accept organs from such donor, this may be left to their
conscious. If organs are not accepted it should be used for research and
scientific study. But one has to understand that punishment is always given for
the evil deeds and not to the body. Scientifically these conventional thought
doesn’t have any relevance. From religious point of view when soul leaves the
body; the body loose the relevance to his/her persona and it is just a dead
body. So there is no harm to accept organs from such convicts. Just a thought,
how much knowledge does the patient or his / her family have when they accept
organs from other normal donors.
From legal and medical aspect once the person’s brain is dead
he is declared dead so it doesn’t make any sense to other alive organs. Hence
execution should be done by simple medically removing his / her Heart which
will result in this death; giving us alive heart for transplantation other
relevant organs should be also removed as per medical procedure. Necessary
amendments to law and adequate security & medical arrangements will be
required to implement it.
To be
Hanged Donate Organ till Death.........
