Transplant chain record |
| Posted by ANT on Feb 21 2012 |
A chain of live donor transplants in the USA recently was the biggest ever. All set off by one altruistic donor. He gave to someone, and their donor gave to someone else - 30 times over! Read the whole story from the New York Times.
Thanks to Paddy Gibson for spotting this. 59 out of the 60 donors and recipients agreed to being identified.
