Convicted of raping and beating to death his girlfriend's 3-year old daughter in 1993, 40-year-old Ronald Phillips is hoping to donate his kidneys and heart to any person in need of said organs. Fellow death row inmate, Christian Longo, who received the death sentence after he murdered his wife and three kids in 2001, is currently supporting Phillip's bid to donate his organs once he's executed. Longo had tried making a similar offer two years ago. The Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, has since delayed Phillip's execution date by seven months in order to "study the feasibility of death-row donations."
