BORROWING TIME
Two dying patients need organ transplants in order to survive. To save them, doctors try what was once the unthinkable: they take an organ, not from a cadaver, but from a live volunteer. But the doctors have still more ambitious plans to save, not just one life, but two, by re-using the defective organ removed from one dying patient… and transplanting it into the second. BORROWING TIME documents how three patients became human dominoes in a surgical juggling act. Premiered on National Geographic Channel, USA.
Produced by National Geographic (2003)
