Delhi: Dead girl's kidneys save two lives
Credits:

A 19-year-old girl from Delhi's Chhattarpur, Shakuntala, died at Safdarjung Hospital after consuming poison. Her parents agreed for organ donation; her kidneys were transplanted to save two patients suffering from renal disorders. Safdarjung Hospital's Professor and Head of Urology and Renal Transplantation, Dr. Anup Kumar, said this could be the world's first organ transplant from a patient who suffered poisoning and cardiac death.

Quote
Why do most people refrain from organ donation?
