A life everlasting : the extraordinary story of one boy's gift to medical science / Sarah Gray. by Gray, Sarah, 1973- HarperOne, [2016] Call #: 617.95 G782L Subjects Gray, Sarah, 1973- -- Health.   Gray, Thomas Ethan -- Health.   Organ donors -- Biography.   Donation of organs, tissues, etc. -- Biography.   Anencephaly -- Patients -- Biography.   Mother and infant -- Biography. ISBN:  9780062438225 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  x, 275 pages ; 24 cm Summary:  "A donor mother's memoir of grief and rebirth, and also a medical science whodunit, taking us inside the world of organ, eye, tissue, and blood donation and cutting-edge scientific research. When Sarah Gray received the devastating news that her unborn son Thomas was diagnosed with anencephaly, a terminal condition, she decided she wanted his death--and life--to have meaning. In the weeks before she gave birth to her twin sons in 2010, she arranged to donate Thomas's organs. Due to his low birth weight, they would go to research rather than transplant. As transplant donors have the opportunity to meet recipients, Sarah wanted to know how Thomas's donation would be used. That curiosity leads Sarah to visit some of the most prestigious scientific facilities in the country, including Harvard, Duke, and the University of Pennsylvania. Pulling back the curtain of protocol and confidentiality, she introduces the researchers who received Thomas's donations, held his liver in their hands, studied his cells under the microscope. Sarah's journey to find solace and understanding takes her beyond her son's donations--offering an overview of the world of medical research and the scientists on the horizon of discovery. She goes behind the scenes at organ procurement organizations, meeting empathetic counselors and the brilliant minds who are finding surprising and inventive ways to treat and cure disease through these donations. She also shares the moving stories of other donor families"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
