“An Ohio death-row inmate can’t donate his organs to a family member because he wouldn’t have enough time to recover from the operation before his execution, a state prison official said Friday. Gov. John Kasich postponed Ronald Phillips’ execution from last November to this July to see whether he would be a viable organ donor to his mother, who has kidney disease. His sister, who suffers from heart disease, was also initially mentioned as a possible recipient. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor won’t further postpone Phillips’ execution. Nichols declined to comment further.”
