Inmate Wants Execution Delayed So He Can Donate Liver to Sister

An interesting story about an Indiana death-row inmate, Gregory Scott Johnson, who has asked to be granted clemency (or at least "temporary clemency") so that he can donate his liver to his 48-year-old sister who resides in an assisted-living facility. If Johnson is a compatible donor, I think the state has a moral obligation to at least keep him alive long enough to donate his liver. (Personally, I don't think the state should put people to death in the first place, but that's another matter.)
