While execution of criminals has some drawbacks [such as it's a good way to silence somebody, or otherwise get them out of the way] it does provide a convenient supply of life-saving body parts for non-criminals. Also, the definition of "criminal" needs some examination. TJ thinks shooting people in the back if they try to flee China is a good idea. Fleeing from tyrants hardly seems criminal to me, but different people have different ideas about what "criminal" means. China's bosses think murdering people in Taiwan is a good idea too if they decide they want to be independent of China. It is obvious to me who the criminals are in those instances. It is unethical to force people with failing organs to work to pay taxes to keep murderous criminals alive. Selling the executed criminal's body parts at auction and using the money to pay families of their victims and to catch more such criminals would save good lives and prevent criminals doing more of their evil work.
