'An Oregon death row inmate is mounting an aggressive behind-bars campaign to donate his organs after he’s executed, in part to repay society for the gruesome murders of his wife and three young children.

Christian Longo, 37, says he wants to do more to take responsibility for killing his family and dumping their bodies in coastal bays nearly a decade ago than simply accepting execution by lethal injection.

Why is before they put that leathal injuction, the person administering it, wipes the arm with a bit of alcohol-cotton wool?

Are they afraid he/she may get an infection ??? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
