fallingchip 0 #1 May 25, 2005 I can't open more than one window today for some reason(never buy an Apple) so forgive me for not having all the details. Any of you familiar with the inmate who was asking for a stay of execution so he could have part of his liver transplanted into his sister? He didn't get his wish. He was executed this morning. Any thoughts?______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #2 May 25, 2005 If it is true I can see it from both sides. When being executed, there is warning, when having liver problems theres usually warning, Did the people making the decsions believe he was just trying to buy time? I would need more info on this to determine how I feel. I am assuming at this time that someone screwed up and now two people will be dead when it could have just been one. But I dont want to assume... I will look for more info.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
