I have an ethical dilemma, please read carefully?
Here’s the situation. There’s a man sitting on Death Row, having been condemned for a series of murders that he has been proven guilty of beyond a reasonable doubt. Not just one murder, several of them. He’s a perfect biological match for a young girl who needs a heart transplant due to an enlarged heart. The problem is that the man on Death Row isn’t scheduled for execution for another few years, and the woman may only have a year left. Is it ethical to advance his execution to give his heart to the woman, or does that violate his right to due process? What if the woman doesn’t want his heart, but he’s the only possible match, is it ethical to force it on her to save her life? What if. . . screw all that, do you like jello-o?
i like pudding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jello???

I think you’re boring, unimaginative, and clamoring for attention.

I haven’t been able to eat jell-o since I had this really gross squid one time with exactly the same texture. It was horrible, and now sweet, sweet jello makes me gag.
That being said, I don’t think it’s ethical to force the woman to take the heart if she doesn’t want it. Moreover, if the guy has been convicted beyond reasonable doubt, I personally don’t think that there needs to be years between his conviction and his punishment.

I think he should have the right to know the situation and have the chance to volunteer to speed things up and she should also be informed where the heart if coming from.
Yes I do like it, but I’m Australian and we call it jelly

Here’s what i say…To hell with the convict man. He’ll die anyways so why not kill his hateful ass for the sake of an innocent and slowly dying young lady? I’d do it as i have a large fondness for females

. oh yeah and Jell-o is freaking awesome.

Q1: It’s unethical unless he is willing to donate for her life.
Q2: Medical issues are up to the patient not anyone else.
Q3: Yes, I like jell-o.

If she doesn’t want it and has signed stuff like DNR, that should be respected, life is not worth living in a hospital.
I personally believe that if she does want it, the execution should be scheduled ahead of time, however, I don’t like the death penalty, in this situation with a death penalty already pre-disposed, I’m going to have to say that he dies to save her.

Only if the heart has a little jesus dude living in the left ventricle.
Jello can be used to make some interesting hot drinks.

Gov’t can’t kill him until his execution date. He can commit suicide and be found immedicately after.
Recipients of organs don’t know who the donor is unless it’s a family member except with kidneys.
Not ethical to advance execution. his due process is over since he’s on death row (convicted). If she doesn’t want it then story is over and she dies. Donors are not told who the donor is unless a family member gives them a kidney.
I LOVE JELLO!!

I fucking love jell-o

Assuming he has not exhausted his appeals, yes, it is a violation of his rights. I do not know a thing about a person’s rights when it comes to transplants, but I would guess they can turn it down and go to the bottom of the list, or something. I prefer pudding to jello.

Kill him. Little girl doesn’t deserve to die, and that scum bag is just using up tax payers hard earned money.
Is jello the same thing as jelly? If yes, then yes, i’d like some alcoholic jello.

Everything about jello is disgusting.
JusTmE | Feb 03, 2010
HE’S ON DEATH ROW AND NEVER CONSIDERed REPENTING.
FINALE—-
~+LM+~ | Feb 03, 2010
It’s not ethical to execute early to harvest his heart. That would indeed deny him due process.
It’s not ethical to force the woman to accept his heart if she doesn’t want it, even if it will save her life.
And of course — there’s always room for Jello.

It’s a moot point. Assuming they use lethal injection, potassium chloride will be the third chemical that will be administered. This chemical causes irreparable damage to the heart muscle. The only other method of execution still in use today in the US is the electric chair, which also causes damage to the heart (it literally cooks).
Yes, I like Jell-o.
