The criminal. I think your idea is great, but it is after all the criminals body. They should have the right to choose whether they get something permenant done to it, or sit in a jail cell for years on end.

Since when should the worst criminals get the right to choose what justice they deserve ? In the USA or Japan, criminals condemned to death don't have the right to object to the ruling, because they are opposed to death penalty in principle.

Likewise, I don't often see judges changing their ruling because the criminals is afraid about what might become of his/her health/body in a high security prison.
