corneal transplant

On October 11, 2006, Patricia Stanton of Cheektowaga, NY had a corneal transplant procedure done. After being blind for 65years, she could now see. This is probably one of the best medical miracle type stories I've heard. Personally, I think sight is one of our greatest abilities as human beings. I couldn't imagine a dark world forcing one to be completely dependent on hearing, alone.
It is fascinating how far technology has come for medical practices. However, one must realize that procedures like the corneal transplant wouldn't be possible without the kindness of donors. Agreeing to give up any organs after death is a very selfless concept, a truly bold decision to be made. Also, as proven by Mrs. Stanton's case, it really can make a huge difference.
