Nurse Who Killed His Patients Can Donate Kidney, but He Must Get His Sentence First

Also posted on KidneyNotes.

From The New York Times:
A former nurse who pleaded guilty to killing 29 patients at hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania has received permission to donate a kidney to an acquaintance in New York, as long as he first appears at his own sentencing.

Oh, I hope they get both of his kidneys. That's a better punishment than death penalty.

What is the logic in this? You killed people using a lethal dose of injection and then suddenly you want to do the right thing by donating your kidney to an acquaintance? Can your right the wrong? I don't think so! The fact that you are in a medical profession was so unthinkable!
