Capital punishment exists to punish crime, not to aid scientific study. Subverting the purpose of execution can create a perverse incentive structure, wherein a need for more scientific study may drive judges to sentence more convicts to death row than they otherwise would.

Death row inmates should be used for scientific experiments instead
Death row inmates are not representative of the general population, which may largely eliminate their utility as subjects in scientific experiments.
