Every once in awhile...

I read a story like this and it gives me hope for our species.



The parents of a Palestinian boy killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank have donated his organs for use in Israel, in the hope of promoting peace. Twelve-year-old Ahmed Ismail Khatib was shot in the town of Jenin by troops who mistook his toy gun for a real one. His organs were transplanted into five Israeli children and a woman aged 58.

The sad thing is that a story like this one doesn’t get the kind of coverage all the really horrid stories do.
