A collision between the death penalty and a chance at life

Cross-posted to Random Fate.



At The Kudzu Files, hboswell has written about a situation that could have been presented as a hypothetical case in arguments over life and death.



A woman in need of a liver transplant has a close relative on death row in Indiana who has offered to donate, but the procedure that will be used to execute the inmate will essentially poison the liver, rendering it unfit to transplant. Apparently, the Indiana Department of Corrections is not being very cooperative.



Go to The Kudzu Files for the details.



UPDATE: See the comments to this post for the story that Holly in Cincinatti kindly found and posted in the comments that gives additional information on this situation.
