The only problem is with people on death row who have abused their bodies with drugs, etc...
I actually like that idea. I remember a long time ago in the mid 90s, a person who was on death row volunteered himself for a medical cause by letting reserachers frozen his whole body, and slice it into thin slices and scan them into the computer to create a 3D image of a body with a complete set of organs in there.

But of course in no way it'll redeem himself. But considering that he suffered from the loss of his two sons....
