Teenager approves donation of dead mother's organs

A 13-year-old boy in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, said he donated nine organs from his dead mother as a way of honoring her memory.

Ding Sicheng learned that his mother, Yin Xiaoli, 46, an accountant working in the city, had said in her will that she wanted her organs donated after they had watched a TV report about how a dead person's cornea had restored a patient's sight.
