I can understand, for example..why a mother would offer her own life in her sons stead....but we still won't execute her for his crimes, nor will we contend that her death would redeem him. I'm not interested in making some special exemption for your imaginary bestie. Freely given or not, the fruit of the poisoned tree is still poisoned.

Sure. Doesn't have anything to do with the immorality of vicarious redemption, though...so....?
