My idea for the "punishment fitting the crime" is for crimnals to have their organs harvested. If they killed 5 people (I know, I know Saddam killed thousands, but just as an example) their organs could be used for transplants and save at least 5 lives. Heck, technically, the 12 pints of blood alone in the average human could save up to 36 lives...plus the corneas, liver, kidneys, lungs, etc...
The only problem is with people on death row who have abused their bodies with drugs, etc...

I wonder if some people wouldn't want those organs, though, since they came from an evil person.

Some people are crazy like that.
I had several people refuse to buy things when I worked retail because their total was $6.66.

This is also against some religious laws. Defiling your temple and such...
I think that organ donation should ALWAYS be completely voluntary. This includes convicts.

Yeah, but I think they lose their right to claim religion when they murder another person, which is generally against most religious laws.

Many prisoners find religion in prision, when they do, they usually know they were wrong and want their G*d to punish them for it. It isn't up to you to judge, if they find G*d, then they should be allowed to follow all of the tenets of their chosen religion.
I personally believe that the fact that the US/Iraq/anywhere practices capital punishment is shameful and I think that Saddam's death will only make a martyr of him.

I don't think they should be "allowed" to do anything. I don't think killing a guy that murdered thousands of people is "shameful" one bit.....neither is, for example, executing a serial murderer who butchers women left and right. Maybe I just don't find it appealing to let the guy sit in prison with free meals and a bed to sleep in every night.

Did you mean, "isn't it where part of our tax money goes to?". I think taxes are another issue all together, and actually I don't know what you are tyring to get at with this.
Frankly, I find it appaling that you would consider the lives of horrendous murderers as precious as the innocent people that they brutally killed. It would be hard to convince me that it is better to be humane and let them live out the rest of their lives.

Why? Why should they be afforded more consideration then they afforded their victim? What if their victim was part of one of those religions where the body must be whole, yet the murderer decapitated the victim??
You're right, it's not up to me to judge...but it is up to the legal system to judge.

Maybe because I think that we as a society should be more humane than those that take lives? Maybe because I view all life as precious?
And the legal system obviously thinks that prisioners should be accorded the right to have their death observed in accordance to their religion.
