Liver Donation - A courageous woman

A courageous woman that donates part of her liver to someone who had no relationship with her, some one who is just her father's friend child.

On top of knowing that she had only 1 kidney, yes only one since birth, she still carry on the liver donation. Liver and kidneys are essential organs that remove the toxic from the body. And if i know that i have only 1 kidney and 3/4 of a liver left, i might not perform the op for someone that i do not know.

(i read somewhere that an average weight of the liver is 2kg, thus to donate 500g leaves 1.5kg of liver, which is 3/4)

Certainly a courageous woman to go ahead with the liver donation.
