Notes -
Rehabilitative justice mostly doesn't work, it just allows repeat convicts more time and resources to spread their violent genes in your population. Better to do capital punishment after the n+1 conviction and if your society has the stomach for it, take out their useful organs to help law-abiding productive people live longer. Asset seizures of convicts are of course a given if we're already taking their organs.
Does capital punishment sometimes get the wrong person? Surely it does, but the general population is probably satisfied if police forces can blame and catch the right criminal most of the time (90%? 95%?), perfection is unrealistic. Is organ harvesting a crime against humanity? Maybe it is, but it's only used to mitigate the tax burden of dealing with criminals, so it's not necessary. Harvesting organs of repeat criminal offenders is just a way to force convicts to repay their victims, which includes taxpayers, in the event they have no other resources to give.
I further propose that a convicted Nigerian's organs be given to a law-abiding Nigerian as a priority on the organ recipient wait list. Non-nigerians would only have second priority on the convict organ transplant list. In this way we sustain Nigerians with better genes, and avoid the apperance of Nigerians being harvested purely for the benefit of other ethnicities.
Great now all George Soros needs to do is frame a healthy white guy, or jew depending on the current Schrodinger's minority status, in order to get his heart transplant. Way to invent the rich harvesting the organs of the poor.
The rich already harvest the organs of the poor because the rich already game the system to be prioritized.

If it's going to happen anyway society at large may as well get some benefit from it while eliminating criminality.
I suspect Soros has no problem getting any transplant he needs, no need to frame anyone when he is going to be the top of the waiting list anyway.

What do you mean, "invent"? Canada has had MAiD for years.
But Canada's MAiD agents are too busy targeting soldiers with bodies ruined by war, not exactly prime blood boy donor targets. Maybe they are building Frankensteinian super soldiers from the bodies?
