In your opinion if the government allowed scientists (with the know how) to create a system by which you could comatose prisoners and then have their body heat (as mentioned in the article) to power small towns or depending on the number of prisoners available power large towns.

Do you think this would be ethical, i read articles all the time about the most horrid people being released from prison or jail early when they've raped small children, or killed frail old women etc and yet they're allowed to live with free food and in some cases better health care than those who actually obey the law!

so for debate purposes do you think 1.it would be ethical? and why

2. How do you think the public would react to it if a law like this was passed?

i want to point out once again that this system would only be used on the most evil criminals who have sentences lasting far beyond their life span e.g. 100 years or 80 10 points to the most educated and thought out answer (and do us a favor and down vote the people who gave childish their answers thx)
