Nicholas Green

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicholas Green was an American boy who was shot and killed in an attempted moving automobile robbery in Italy in September 29, 1994. When he died his parents asked the hospital if his organs could be donated. The lives of five very sick Italians, four of them teenagers, were saved. Two others, who were facing blindness, received Nicholas' corneas.

At the time organ donation was rare in Italy. News stories about the lives saved by his donated organs increased the awareness and number of donated organs in Italy. A made-for-television movie, Nicholas' Gift, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Alan Bates, was made of the story.
