Abstract
This is an account of the effect on public opinion around the world of a decision by Reg and Maggie Green to donate the organs and corneas of their seven-year-old son, Nicholas, who was killed in a botched robbery in Italy in 1994. It reveals the potential for raising awareness of the donor shortage by linking transplantation to a single human story.
