Would you accept organ transplants from a serial killer or child molester?

[echarcha]

Suppose a serial killer or a child molester or some other horrible criminal who has committed horrendous crimes is struck with some disease or say a heart attack.

Now the criminal dies in this medical episode but his organs, say his liver or kidney or eyes are in perfect condition. Furthermore, the criminal has indicated that he wants to donate his organs.

Now you need one of the organs desperately to survive. Will you accept an organ from such a criminal?

and why not kharchu chachu?? jaan hain to jahaan hain :D

irrespective of his crimes....the man has a heart of gold coz he decided to donate his organs to save others lives!! :angel:

ek min kharchu...kahi 'naina' movie to nahi dekh rahe na aap?? :D

[vakil sahib]

yes, and then i would perform a gayatri havan to purify them - tension khalaas:D

I will accept and more so if it was a matter of life and death of any of my family member.

No I am not watching any movie. What is this 'Naina' movie?

I just thought of asking this question as I was watching some local news and there was a mention of some crime.. and the train of thought led to this question.

I see no harm in accepting the organs. Anyway it was the deceased's wish to donate his organs. What deeds he did when he was alive would not be of any concern. :)

Say you get his heart in transplant or his eyes. Wont you feel weird that the same heart and eyes felt and saw horrible crimes and committed horrible crimes?

Another angle - Is this not akin to accepting money which has been ill gotten. Maybe someone was killed for the money and now you are the recipient of such money.

Just trying to get as many avried opinions and thoughts on this.
