Boy's Donated Organs Lead To Cancer

This is a terrible story that starts with a tragedy and ends in an equally sad way. It centres around a boy name Alex Koehne, a teen who was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and apparently died from the disease in March of last year.

His parents made the decision to donate his organs to others as a way of paying tribute to their lost son. It was a generous and agonizing moment, but they knew they were doing the right thing. "I immediately said, 'Let's do it'," Jim Koehne recalls. "We both thought it was a great idea. This is who Alex was."

The operations were performed in New York City and grateful donors accepted Alex's vital organs, giving them the chance at a life he would forever be denied. It should have had a happy ending.

It didn't.

Truly a shame that what a family thought would be the gift of life or a chance at life to other people suffering turned in to a nightmare. I can't even imagine how they must feel, likely blaming themselves even though they had no idea about the cancer.

It's so horrible

The family must feel so so horrible... They thought they were doing something amazing... But actually they were giving people their death sentances!

So sad

yeah, i feel sorry for them. they did think they were doing something amazing... and regardless of the outcome.. they DID do something amazing, donating your kids organs is definitely one of the greatest acts of love someone can give to a stranger

it is just a shame that the doctors and hospitals didnt realize what they were doing.
