This would be unethical and highly suspect even if you could trust due process in the courts and in law enforcement. And you’d be a fool to trust those things. A fool with only one kidney.
Not sure where this bill came from. Didn’t see anything from healthcare or inmate advocacy groups from either of the bill’s sponsors. I already asked my rep to have this withdrawn.
This is so unethical, I honestly can’t believe an actual person put this forward. Someone should check on whoever proposed this because they have no soul.
Honestly more organ donor’s would be awesome.
The proper method for getting more would be a government give a tax credit for being one. i.e here is 500 for being willing to donate and save lives. Would just need to work on rules/regulations to prevent folks changing it in last part of the year for it and then removing it after tax season ends.
The true goal has arrived. The merging of the criminal justice system and the private healthcare market. These laws will pop up and jails will become the plasma donation centers of body organs.

It’s a great deal, but it’s going to need a lot of oversight to avoid coercion
Edit: see u/airlewe’s comment below regarding the government’s estimation of the value of human life. This deal may actually not be so great.

This is your reminder that the 13th Amendment banning slavery makes an exception for prisoners.
If/when they send you to prison, you are a slave. This is how they get away with ‘paying’ you $1 dollar for a day’s labor.

Don’t see a problem. China’s been doing this since the 90’s with amazing results!

Ah yes, because no dystopian future novel has ever started with “and then the government started to harvest organs from prisoners” :/

Sorry Reddit, but this atrocity was proposed by a democrat: State Rep. Carlos González
This is disgusting and he should be laughed out of the building.

Why unethical? It’s a choice.
