A condemned child killer who has abandoned his remaining appeals asked Monday for the chance to donate his organs to his ailing mother and sister either before or after his execution this week.
The request by Ronald Phillips to donate a kidney and his heart is not a delay tactic, but rather an attempt to make a final gesture for good, according to his public defender.
"It is our sincere hope that the state of Ohio will do the right thing to ensure that as many people as possible will benefit from the gift of life that Ron is so generously willing to bestow as his own life approaches its end," attorney Lisa Lagos said in an interview.

A noble gesture.Certainly not a defense or delay tactic,because numerous people on the waiting list will be chomping at the bit to get life giving organs.If anything,his actions will speed up his execution.Just how he will be executed to maintain the integrity of the organs remains to be seen.
ReplyDeleteLet them be donated AFTER the execution. He deserves nothing.
