Lethal injection. I and Hafiz have questioned ourselves on why Singapore resort to hanging as the execution method for capital crime and did not opt for lethal injection which seems like a better of both evils. A recent article on the Sunday Times answered this question regarding the matter. The writer claims that with the use of lethal injection, the thought of the manner of execution does not strike fear enough into the hearts of would-be-offenders and therefore might not act as a successful deterence.However he also pointed out another reason on why lethal injection is not opted.

Organs from the body of the executed person can be used for medical transplants for patients who are in need of organ transplants.With the injection of the lethal substance as a method of execution, the possibility of the usage of the organs are totally eliminated as the organs are not usable anymore due to the lethal subtance that have spread through the organs.

The writer quoted that there have been quite a number of transplants involving the body of the executed persons with permission from family members.However it came into question in my mind where the financial benefit of such transplants will be directed to.
