It does seem more likely that stem cell organ regeneration will be the actual method of replacing body parts that recycling DNA mismatches from other people. But using body parts from criminals would act as a disincentive to crime - more so than simply killing them. In Saudi Arabia people don't steal from shops and my brother tells me it's quite pleasant [he flew pilgrims to the Haj years ago]. There's something about having a hand removed which acts as quite a disincentive to theft. Having a head removed certainly stops any repeat crime and given the recidivist rate in New Zealand, it's reasonable to think that INSIDE prison is more attractive than having to actually work for a living outside or get by on welfare payments. People like to say that capital punishment is not a disincentive to murder, but these days, murder is so common that we now have people who commit more than one murder - doing the second when they have served time for the first. With capital punishment for the first, they certainly won't do the second. Mqurice
