The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing, and screening as part of the shorts program is a two minute animation called “Let’s Harvest the Organs of Death Row Inmates.” We imagine this is a tongue-in-cheek look at the idea — according to the film, there are 2,775 people waiting for a heart transplant, and 37 inmates were executed in 2008 — but considering China’s record doing just that, we imagine Americans would be squeamish about taking the guts of a dead person without his or her consent.
