Subject: BS: Organ transplants - a moral dilemma
In the UK today, a judge has expressed his surprise that a multiple rapist in court once again, is on the organ transplant list waiting for a new heart. Not sure how the judge learned of this, unless the defence revealed it hoping for a lesser sentence. Anyway, how bad can his heart be considering that he has already raped 3 women and is now being sentenced for a 4th rape. Perhaps giving him a new lease of life will mean that he may continue raping women once released from the present sentence. Would a donor be content to know that his heart could be gifted to a serial rapist? The Organ Transplant agency is remaining non-comittal on this matter and the NHS says that all cases are treated on their clinical need only. I carry a donor card but personally, I would not give this rapist the steam off my p**s. I think this news may make quite a few existing and potential donors consider their options.
