Organ Transplants

Last week in Biology we read an article on organ transplants.  The article was about criminals who were in jail, being able to get new organs.  I strongly disagree with the article because when you break the law you have given up the right to a new lung, kidney, heart, ect.  Although, crime is a very touchy subject.  I think that no one who has murdered someone or assaulted someone should be eligable for organ transplants.  On the otherhand someone who shoplifted a candy bar because they were hungry, I think that they should not be deprived of such a valuable item.  I think it all depends on the severity of the crime.  A simple shoplifting case (although shoplifting $2 million or something like that would not count) shouldn't count against a person in need of an organ.  Also if they have a record of criminal activity they do not diserve an organ.  I think they need to show signs of improvement towards a non-criminal lifestyle.
