I do think the Chinese have taken this to the extreme, I've also heard and read stories of harvesting organs from prisoners for transplants. Hey... waste not, want not (ok, that was bad)
I personally believe the death penalty is a necessary evil. There are persons who commit violent crimes and will never, for whatever reason or excuse they can come up with, be productive members of a safe and rational society. I'm talking in cases of pre-meditated or serial murder, serial rape and the like. Tell me what good Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer would have ever been to society? They are a permanent menace and have no place among the living. Back to this thread, I don't think drug trafficking or use justifies a bullet in the head or one way trip in the death bus
