In Texas, a man due to be executed on July 13 asked for a reprieve so he could donate a kidney before he died. It is reported by the Independent.
The idea came to 39-year-old Ramiro Gonzalez during a correspondence with lawyer Michael Zusman, a former prison chaplain and an active opponent of the death penalty.
Due to his rare blood type, Gonzalez proved to be an ideal candidate for a kidney transplant, and his lawyers petitioned the local governor for a stay of execution.
It is clarified that Gonzalez does not just want to live longer, but sees in his sacrifice atonement for the sins he has committed. According to him, all the years he spent in prison, he thought about how to return what he had taken from a person earlier – life. As a result, Ramiro Gonzalez came to the conclusion that the answer to this question lies in saving another person from death.
Gonzalez was born in Dilli, Texas and raised by his grandparents. His cousin said that their childhood was associated with abuse and abuse – physical, emotional and sexual. Gonzalez later became addicted to hard drugs. He was sentenced to death in 2006 for the kidnapping, rape and murder of 18-year-old Bridget Townsend. At the time of the crime, he was 18, he spent 15 years on death row.
