The Telegraph
A grieving mum who cradled her dead baby after a complicated birth has saved the life of another child by donating her son's organs.
Jade Awdry made the decision just 23 minutes after Zachary was born.
Clutching him in her arms, the 33-year-old leaned across to a midwife and asked of there was anything that could be done to help others.
Soon after, Zachary's heart valves were used to save the life of a baby with a genetic heart condition.
The selfless decision came to light after an inquest into baby Zachary's death. A coroner heard that he had needed to be delivered by caesarian section and that his skull had been fractured.
