Miracle Girl



This is the most remarkable medical science story I have read in a long time. The girl had a liver transplant and there was no rejection ! If they can duplicate what happened it would be the biggest breakthrough in years.

FIFTEEN-year old Demi-Lee Brennan defies belief. Dubbed the "one-in-six-billion miracle girl", the South Coast teenager is the first transplant patient ever to change blood types and take on the immune system of her organ donor. Her body's ability to accept a new liver - and then produce new blood cells on its own - has left doctors mystified. The rare phenomenon now means Demi no longer has to take a cocktail of anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life.......
