The mother of a three year old whose organs saved the lives of four other children has asked other parents to discuss organ donation with their children. Ilse Fieldsend's three-year-old daughter Georgia was playing on the beach with her mother on Christmas Day when she collapsed suddenly. Doctors diagnosed a fatal brain aneurysm, leaving Georgia on a breathing machine in hospital with no hope of recovery. Ilse and her husband were faced with a decision they had never contemplated before; should they allow doctors to take Georgia's organs for transplant? "Four children were saved with Georgia's [organs], and she gave sight to two young adults... She gave the gift of sight", her mother Ilse told Â鶹Éç 5 live. "Ask yourself the question - would you accept an organ to save your child? If the answer is yes...talk about it," she said.
