Preparation for the new laws
Maybe at some point in the future, all of these new laws that come with life imprisonment or a death penalty will be changed to participation in the organ bank system. As soon as medical science evolves to the point where transplanting digits or entire limbs is possible, it won't be very hard to get public support to change the laws.
Maybe I read too much Heinlein and Niven.
