Texas death row inmate asks governor to delay his execution by 30 days to donate a kidney before his execution 'to atone for his crimes'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Why not both kidneys with a liver, heart and lungs, with eyes? - Ramiro Gonzales, 39, has asked Gov. Greg Abbott for a 30-day delay so that he can donate his kidney
- Gonzales has Type B blood, an extremely rare blood type the organ recipients wait for years to receive
- Judith Frith of Washington state has been waiting four years for a compatible kidney
- She wrote to Abbott pleading for him to allow the convicted killer and rapist to be allowed to donate
- The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole denied a request for a 180-day reprieve
- Gonzales killed Bridget Gonzales, the 18-year-old girlfriend of his drug dealer, after tying her hand and feet and raping her
- Anti-death penalty advocates say this is not an attempt to delay his execution
- He recently won a case that would require his spiritual advisor to be at his side during his execution
- Gonzales is scheduled to be put to death on July 13 unless Abbott intervenes
- The governor has not responded to the death row prisoner's request
