i think the target might have been missed with the "real objection" being merely aesthetic. if you accuse people of not wanting to save lives in order to keep executions a "grim affair" then you arent making a sturdy argument. The real problem has to do with the value of human life, I think a great objection to this would be how are prosecutions for criminals going to change if there is the possibility of an criminals organs going to save lives. i think we need to worry about seeing the death penalty pop up more frequently. There's no such thing as a free organ and i think we need to be aware of the further ramifications.
