Ted Bartling, a rocket scientist from Utah saved
three people’s lives. Bartling, a 51
year old man served as a catalyst to a 6 person transplant. For 15 years, he had been saying that he
wanted to donate a kidney and finally he did at what seemed like the perfect time.
In university
Hospital there were 3 people who needed a new kidney. Bartling donated his
kidney to a woman named Brandy Jess who’s best friend was able to donate her
kidney to a two year old boy named Beckham, whose father then chose to donate a
kidney to a man named Juan Romero. Six people
were involved in this long chain of kidney transplants. None of this would have happened if Bartling hadn’t
randomly decided to donate a kidney.
I
chose this article because it is so touching.
I really like the fact that there are still good people in the world. And
this can be seen in the stunning selflessness displayed by Ted Bartling.
I found an article that reports that Facebook has been instrumental in helping raise number of organ donors; that might be an interesting story.
