A Texas inmate who is set to be put to death in less than two weeks asked that his execution be delayed so he can donate a kidney. 9News
The evaluation found Gonzales has a rare blood type, meaning his donation could benefit someone who might have difficulty finding a match.
Gonzales’ attorneys have made a separate request asking the board to commute his death sentence to a lesser penalty. In 2013, Ronald Phillips’ execution in Ohio was delayed so his request to donate a kidney to his mother could be reviewed. Phillips’ request was later denied and he was executed in 2017.
