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.

They'd have to act quickly.
They would, and blame the TEA party.
It’s partially true.
There have been some mistakes.
I’m just kidding tery....Or is it carl?
Wasn’t this the theme of a horror movie where the recipient of a heart from a murderer began to murder people.
Agree N&V.
Has to be a very clear no!
Who writes like this?! I mean seriously?!
He doesn’t have to be dead to donate a kidney.
>> On the fence. Help me out people
It wasn’t something like manslaughter.

Incinerate every fiber of his being.
Could be dangerous; a guy I know got a kidney transplant from a circus clown who passed away.
He went right out and bought a Mini-Cooper.
Who said anything about the federal level?
Ah. I see. The people who run towns are qualitatively different than the people who run countries.
Did you know that the BTK killer worked in building code enforcement? There was a big gap in his career of Binding, Torturing and Killing, because he got so much pleasure tormenting people administratively he felt no need to actually kidnap and murder young women.
That is the sort of person who will seek out positions in the organ harvesting food chain.
And you are OK with creating those positions? Why?
Oh, that would never happen. We are a nation of Laws! It’s not like a _Resident can just sign things into LAW with Executive Orders!
*SMIRK*
An excellent novel on the subject is, ‘Never Let Me Go’ by Ishiguro something...He wrote ‘The Remains of the Day’ and a few others. It’s about cloning and organ harvesting for the Elites. Chilling!

Information did not come by the tabloids.
Once you are dead your organs are no longer useful.
It all depends on what your definition of ‘dead’ is.
I know what mine is.
And, the powers not given to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people.
That is the sort of person who will seek out positions in the organ harvesting food chain.
Actually that is the sort of person who would be "harvested".
The first qualification was that they need to be on death row.
Making organ... well, I’d say donation but if it is mandatory it really isn’t, automatic instead of voluntary could create a dangerous perverse incentive.
