Phebus started researching online to learn about organ donation. He learned about the long wait people endure for an organ transplant and came up with his idea.
He decided to donate his organs, but he wants to do it now, which would kill him.
"I have a death sentence. It is just a matter of time," he said. "I know people are waiting on organs. If I am going to die, why not - while my organs are still viable - go ahead and save five to 10 people."
Phebus talked it over with his wife, Patti, and his four children. He said they all are supportive of the idea.
"I feel it is the right thing to do. There is a lack of organs. I don't feel like it is suicide," he said. "I am trying to give other people a chance."
