A man on death row in Texas has asked the state to delay his execution so that he can donate a kidney.
Ramiro Gonzales, 39, is set to be killed Wednesday after he was convicted for the 2001 murder of Bridget Townsend. However, his attorneys sent a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott asking for more time as part of the man’s efforts to make amends for his crime.
However, so far, authorities in Texas have ruled Gonzales ineligible, according to CNN. On Monday afternoon, the Texas parole board denied a request for a reprieve, leaving the final decision up to Gov. Abbott.
