Way back when: Today in history - "Genuine Act of Love"

Tulsa World | Gene Curtis





2000 - 'Genuine act of love' 


Organ donation was called a "genuine act of love" by Pope John Paul in an address to 5,000 transplant specialists in Rome at the International Congress of the Transplantation Society. 

The 80-year-old pontiff, who left his summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo outside Rome to appear at the congress, won applause from the transplant experts.
