I heard about this this morning from a transplant-related list I am on.

Being a kidney transplant recipient, this really moved me. The article does not state how many of Christina Green's organs were used to help another child. Off the top of my head, I can think of nine organs that could be used... Not just in one person, but in several.
I applaud her parents for choosing to do this in such a time of tragedy because without transplants, the people to whom these organs were donated may not have survived.
