Since he is a convicted murderer, I don't think that he has the right to decide what happens to his parts after death.

If we assume that death row inmates are an acceptable source for donor parts (i.e., setting aside the highly reasonable arguments of Paq, boatin and others), I would suggest that the immediate family of the victims get first dibs. If none of them needed any spare parts, I would put the parts into the general donor system.

I don't see why the relative of a murderer should be able to jump ahead in the donor line.
