It’s not that hard to find a lawyer who will work hard to justify torture. I don’t think it’ll be that hard to find someone with medical training to harvest peoples’ organs.

Good luck finding an acceptable donor on death row. (HIV, Hep., etc)
I see what you did there.
FWIW, I’ve heard that the Chinese will inject preservatives into prisoners just before they execute them via a pistol shot to the head and harvest the organs immediately afterwards.
Most waiting transplant patients I’ve seen/heard of describe how squicked out they feel waiting for someone else to die so that they can live. I can see that feeling getting squickier when the donation is the actual cause of the death.
Are people recieving transplants told where the organ concerned comes from?
Personally, though I do not support the death penalty at all, I think it’s pretty damn weird, given that it happens, that people think it’s more ethical to potentially leave innocent people to die waiting for a transplant, rather than attempting to save them using bits of someone that’s been decreed so non-valuable to society that society is prepared to kill them.
But they’re MURDEROUS bits! Og knows what a killer lung might do to you.
Surely they should be looking for the cheapest form of execution? Not only does it save the taxpayer’s money, it’s some kind of final insult to the perpetrator, you know “We coulda gone for one of them there fancy $200 executions, but we figured you weren’t worth more than $6.99”.
Which would make death by dehydration the most attractive offer, wouldn’t it? No extra labour, no materials just the cost of the cell for them to die in in about 4 days.
I would think shoving somebody off a tall building would be the cheapest method. How much does an elevator ride cost?
Or are you counting cleanup costs afterwards?
If I had to pick: Guillotine, guillotine, guillotine! In a public square! With a drumroll! And some crazy ladies in the crowd knitting! 
Exactly. Didn’t you people learn anything from what happened to that Orlac guy? I mean they made three movies about it after all.
You transplant a body part from a murderer into somebody else and the body part takes over and turns the new guy into a murderer. Everyone knows that.
Tsk. Wasting taxes on comforts for criminals . . . Hanging them in chains or cages, from gibbets outdoors, is even cheaper, and has the added benefit of a deterrent public spectacle, plus something fun to throw rocks at. 
And, this being Florida, we could actually add something with honey and fire ants to that!
OK, if I’m possessed/haunted by way of a transplanted organ, does my homicidal M.O. have to . . . somehow . . . involve that organ’s use?
And they should add George Carlin’s suggestion. You put the guillotine at the top of a hill, and put holes in the ground at the bottom of the hill, and you let people bet on which hole the head rolls into. My own idea to liven it up a bit more is to put powered bumpers and lots of flashing lights in, and even a couple of flippers, so you can make it into a kind of pinball game. Call it pinheads
Flaying alive and impalement, combined (each to mercifully shorten the agony of the other, as one might say while chuckling softly), might be a suitable chastisement for certain . . . white-collar crimes. Certain recent ones.
Actually, the best combination with impalement would be shoving the guy off a tall building.
While my brother-in-law was waiting for his heart I caused a small disturbance by observing that a worthwhile investment might be a series of ads in high school yearbooks saying “None of the cool kids wear seatbelts.”
And only pussies wear helmets – motorcycle, bicycle OR football.
Which comes back to my shoving them out of an airplane suggestion. You could play a game like horseshoes, only it would be called Impale the Perp, from, say, 2000 feet up.
“Detective! You’re gonna want to look at this… Is that what I think it is?”
“This man wasn’t just murdered, he was pancreas’ed to death. The third one this month. It looks like we’re dealing with <<puts on sunglasses>> an endocrime system”
YYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
We’re talking about saving the taxpayers money here. The plane and every single flight is expensive.
How about we compromise? We’ll use the plane, fire up the engine, and just shove the perps into the spinning prop. You get your plane, I get my shove.
