Any system that can demand body parts of a convicted criminal as restitution is barbaric and ripe for abuse. How do you propose correcting a subsequently discovered wrongful conviction? Removing the body part from the victim? Taking the prosecutor's kidney?

BTW, If the threat of social opprobrium was a viable method of crime prevention, drunk driving would not remain a serious problem, and those states with public databases of convicted child molesters would be prosecuting fewer and fewer cases.
