South Carolina wants to pass legislation that would allow long-term inmates to donate organs (no, not your grandma's Bontempi) in exchange for reduced sentences. There will be a sliding scale "reduced sentence" for various organs like kidneys and bone marrow. Who is the [chicken nugget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-chickens-and-no-kid-hungry) that came up with this one? Your brain must have been breaded and deep-fried to think that [murderers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-can-fix-him) want to help save lives. Do you think they are there voluntarily? Perhaps you yourself have already made an [organ donation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pluck)? Your brain dude, your brain.

### Who This Affects Most
