In the interest of saving lives and under continual prompting from the legal profession, appropriate changes were made last October in the rules covering implementation of the death penalty, to allow the execution of those offenders wishing to donate their organs to be carried out by a gunshot to the head. The convict donor is then brain dead, and his organs are removed by operation.
此外，為挽救更多的生命，醫界一再要求，促使法務部在去年十月修改相關辦法，對於自願於死後捐贈器官的死刑犯，執刑時可改由槍擊腦部，使之腦死，然後由醫院進行移植手術。
