Chinese Executions and Organs


This cartoon shows a police officer telling one of his men to arrest someone. Here, if there is an execution, the organs are used for medical purposes. That means, the government has it in their interest to execute a person. Having it in your interest to execute people in order to have organs for other people, executions would be seen in a better light. While I think it is good that this helps people, this definitely changes the view of an execution. If an execution can help society, that actually encourages the practice, even if charges are not just. So, realizing what this practice could lead to, I think it would be better if it didn't happen. This would take a practice meant to enforce justice into something greedy and wrong. It brings another question: What would you give to survive? The life of a possibly innocent stranger?
