I actually think thats a really good idea, a repayment scheme that they can not opt out of. Forced donation in this case is the right way to go. (only of course if you agree with the death penelty - which i happen not to) Still not a bad idea though.
As for this particular case then they should allow him to donate if he can help his sister (after all not her fault he did what he did) and while they've got him open take whatever else maybe useful then of course kill him of the operating table.

Forced Donations? Boy, isn't that a step closer to violating basic human rights? This guy is volunteering to give up his liver for his dying sister. That's pretty noble, even if the same guy that murdered somebody.
Personally, I think it's pretty inhumane to put a convict person on death row for a long time and the whole time, all he can do is think about when the end comes. To make it worse, you're actually suggesting that the prisoners be ripped apart and take his body part for somebody else to use? The state actually grant prisoners last meal, considers his relgion when "disposting" of him and you're suggesting that we ignore prisoners request not to be ripped apart for his body parts to be distributed throughout the country? No, that's even more inhumane, especially when he's about to be executed.
