Death row inmate wants to donate liver to sister

 

MICHIGAN CITY, Indiana -- Lawyers for an Indiana death row inmate will argue today for a brief reprieve for their client, who wants to donate a part of his liver to his dying sister.

 

Gregory Johnson is scheduled to die by lethal injection on May 25th for the 1985 murder of an 82-year-old woman who was beaten, stomped and set on fire.

 

 

But, his lawyers are asking the state to allow him to be tested as a possible donor and to undergo the procedure if his liver is compatible.

 

 

Johnson’s lawyers say it would be up to Indiana’s governor to order a delay for medical testing to take place.

Think they should grant the delay to see if he's a match for her...??

Yes, gives him a chance to give something back (albeit too little too late). And, it's not like he's going to be needing it.

I think so.

 

The one thing is odd is that they will wait until he is better to put him to death. I think I understand why, it just sounds odd.

Damn, it is a clear yes though.

Let him donate they whole liver. Both problems solved.
