The List for Life: Transplants

For patients Zach and Mike, there is only one thing that will extend their lives: a transplant. And even after surgery, nothing is certain—as in the case of Amna, a girl who has been fighting rejection of a bowel transplant for more than eight years. Through these case studies of organ transplants, this ABC News program delves into the ethical considerations and moral dilemmas faced by doctors of Johns Hopkins Medicine while examining the procedures and lengthy periods of recovery endured by their patients. (51 minutes)
