The life-from-death miracles for six families were also thanks to three medical teams who raced against the clock. And there was the family of accident victim Carmen Ho, 31, who gave the go- ahead for their lost loved ones organs to be used for the gift of life. Married but without children, Carmen worked as a manager in a restaurant. She had not signed a donation card, but her husband and parents decided her organs should go to people in need. Her husband, who identified himself simply as Wong, is still recovering from an arm injury suffered in the car crash that claimed his wife this month. He remains grief-stricken, of course, but he puts on a brave face to talk about the family decision. His wife was a keen volunteer in helping the underprivileged, Wong said, and by donating her organs the family has preserved her spirit. The six people whose lives have been transformed are a 43-year-old woman, Chan Sum-yee, who received Carmens heart; a six-year-old boy and a 60-year-old woman who shared her liver; a man and a woman, both 24, who each got a kidney; and a person who received her corneas. .hk/news_sec.asp?we_cat=11d_st
