Sometimes he changes his mind, but he usually feels pretty hopeless and wants his lawyers to leave him alone to die. They, of course, say that he's confused and that he really needs them to stop his execution. Anyway, according to this newspaper scrap, Larry Lonchars decided a while back that he wanted to donate his organs.

Electrocution messes up a man's insides.
So the story was about the legal battle over finding a way to salvage Larry Lonchars' organs. Even lethal injection damages much of the goods beyond any salvaging. There was talk of a firing squad, or hanging. One State Legislator introduced a bill to bring back the guillotine-no damage to the organs there. Ultimately, Larry Lonchars called in Jack Kevourkian as a consultant to help determine how best to facilitate the process of execution and organ donation.
