Who Should Pay?

Who does The World think should pay for keeping murderers alive for the potential research value of some of them?

Do you say that this cost should be socialized and borne by the unwilling? Today, this seems to be the only option.

Or, should just those who think it's worthwhile to maintain the health and confinement of murderers bear the full cost of doing so?

If it's the latter, do you expect researchers (and their voluntary benefactors) to be willing to pay for this themselves?

And again, today we don't really have a mechanism for transferring these costs to those who want to bear them. So is The World advocating, in the current political system, stealing from the unwilling to finance the research interests of others?
