I believe Niven was AGAINST using the organs of condemned criminals,
since his stories are generally rather frightening in that respect.
Remember the man who got the death penalty for 11 traffic tickets?
Organs were in high demand, and the point was that eventually almost
any crime got the death penalty. The majority of people wanted those
organs.
	On a slightly different note, what do you think of the man who
wants to SELL kidneys from the poor to the rich?
