Mom Shares Video of Baby's Final Moments Before Donating Her Organs

[Beam Me Up Scotty]

"After Meagan Sobolik's 1-year-old daughter Coralynn was declared brain dead, she made the decision to donate the baby's organs"

"In the emotional video shared on YouTube, nurses and doctors lined the hospital hallways and sang “Amazing Grace” as Cora was pushed toward the surgical unit, with her parents by her side."

I found this story on Reddit. I thought twice about posting it here due to it's content but decided otherwise.

Not going to check it out. I do not want to cry today.

I’ll pass on watching too. But their story is a reminder, on today of all days, that there are so many forms of sacrifice and courage and grace in the face of tragedy. Rest well, Coralynn, and peace and healing to her family.

Selfless act of the family will make miracles for others.

I've been listed on the Organ Donor List for decades. Once I'm dead, anything I'm no longer using is fair game [please double check that I'm actually dead ]. I see NO reason to put remains in the ground. :oldfogey:

thanks to all organ donors & their families.

Uncle got a good 15+ years out of his heart transplant.

~3 years on a donated kidney and still going strong for my FIL.

22 years for my daughters previously-used kidney.

that's great news, I'll let him know his 'new' kidney should last past his 100th birthday...
