In fact, some day if I meet my mortal end and my organs are healthy and viable for transplant, I would hope that my organs *did* go to someone who lead a less than honest life.

Hopefully, in their second chance they would see the error in their ways; and the donation of an organ by a complete stranger will allow them to lead a second chance at life in a more conscious manner...
