How poignant!

An emotional video has emerged of the moment that a mum hears her dead son's heart beat in the chest of another man - who even has the same name as her deceased organ donor son.
The bereaved woman listens to her son's heart using a stethoscope at a home in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina on May 21.
She first smiles when she puts the stethoscope to the man's chest and beams and then giggles when she hears the heartbeat.

I moved it.

Re the OP - I love the whole idea of organ donation. For the recipient it's obviously the chance of life or improved life and for the donor's family....it's a beautiful and comforting thing to know your loved one has helped another's person in the best way possible. Lovely story.

Some people save multiple lives through donating their bodies. Pretty amazing.
