WOODPIE:
I wasn't thinking so much about the "mutilation", as I was this: If a criminal is executed by gas, injection or electrocution, nothing in the body is salvagable. If the person is properly anesthesized, there would be no pain for the convicted, and the results of donating organs might save others doomed to an early death. I would posit that the good would far outweigh the bad. And, from a psychological standpoint, what would a radical believer think if he knew that "infidels" were receiving his body parts?
Actually, I think convicted criminals sentenced to death should be given the option of becoming donors as a way of partial compensation for the lives they took.
