Would you support harvesting and donating organs from people who are on death row after they're executed?

I've heard people say that it'd be a good idea, take people who have done horrible things and taken lives and use their organs to save lives.
I've also heard people say they're against it because they wouldn't want an organ from someone who did something that was horrible and deserving of the death penalty

No.

Executions typically ruin organs.

@SomeMichGuy good point, and if they came up with a way to do it without ruining them it'd probably be something that would be considered "cruel and unusual" and therefore unconstitutional
@Blazer420 Well, maybe they could opt to donate their organs in an operation where they would be put to sleep after the extraction(s)...

vs.

traditional execution.
