The Value of Life

I often make the argument of replacing (using sed of course!) embryos with convicted felons (using "s/embryo/convicted felon/g").

Now, we have reason to believe this is actually happening in China.
"Organ procurement in China has been especially criticized for its reliance on executed prisoners as donors."
"A strong majority believed procurement practices were ethically sound in the U.S. and Europe, but only 4 percent believed that procurement practices were ethically sound in China."
What's worse, in China a "convicted felon" could mean a political prisoner.
