In a recent court case "Merriweather vs Hartop", a teacher refused to use a students preferred pronouns. The issue was taken to court, where it was decided that the teacher had the right to do this because his religion is protected under law and the topic of preferred pronouns is a hotly debated topic. The First Amendment gives people the right to refuse using peoples preferred pronouns, since it is not violent or illegal, and does not infringe on other peoples rights.

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing there are currently over 105,000 people in the United States that are in need of an organ transplantation and are in a waiting list. A single healthy person can donate 8 organs and save 8 lives. There are currently around 2,500 people on a death row in the United States prisons.
So now think about around 20,000 people being saved by those people who are waiting to die. Why waist 8 organs of a person while 8 lives could be saved?
This is the reason why the prison organ donation should be allowed. Maybe those people were terrible criminals, but it turned out that even those guilty people are willing to donate their organs so that other people can live.
The government should understand that it should allow prison organ donation, because it does not matter who organ comes from as long as it is healthy and can give life and cure the ones that are willing to live.
