Alabama man gives kidney to stranger
Friday, May 09, 2008
About two years ago, Thomas Burns, a 50-year-old father of five from Mobile, Ala., decided to give away his kidney. He was not aiming to help a family member or a lifelong friend. He wanted to save a stranger.
Burns realized that wish at Medical University of South Carolina on Tuesday, when surgeons removed one of his kidneys and transplanted the organ into Dieter Illhardt, 70, of Murrells Inlet.
