Paper Talk: Oldest liver ever transplanted goes to cirrhosis patient

The liver of an 84-year-old retired doctor who died of a stroke has been successfully transplanted at Queen Mary Hospital in Pok Fu Lam to a cirrhosis patient in his 40s, making the deceased the donor of the oldest liver on record in Hong Kong history. The operation was conducted after the family of the deceased agreed to the donation, although he had never filled out an organ donation card.
A 50-year-old transgender person who underwent surgery to become a woman came out of the closet to talk about her difficulties during a conference hosted by the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva. Luk Yuet-ming, born a male, had undergone more than 20 unsuccessful penis-reconstruction operations since she was eight. It was only when she was diagnosed with a condition which her doctor said could lead to testicular cancer that Luk decided to undergo sex-change operations to have her penis removed.
