Tang Wee Sung gets a transplant
By Teo Xuanwei, TODAY Posted: 10 January 2009 1035 hrs
Overheard
Mr Tang's Kidney was donated by One Eye Dragon.
"A family spokesperson told Weekend TODAY that 56-year-old Mr Tang's operation at the National University Hospital (NUH), which started in the "early morning" and took "about three hours", was successful"
"SINGAPORE: The man dubbed "one-eyed dragon" was hanged at Changi Prison on Friday morning."
In addition,
Under the Human Organ Transplant Act (HOTA), a living donor has to appear before a Transplant Ethics Committee (TEC) before a transplant can proceed. Among other things, the TEC has to determine that donor and recipient share a strong emotional relationship, if not blood ties, before granting authorisation.
Oh yes, they met in jail last year.
No disrespect to either parties but we really need some newsworthy articles instead of tabloids like these.
