Dad: Arizona girl's corneas saved vision of 2 kids

TUCSON, Ariz. – Donated corneas from the young girl killed in the Arizona mass shooting have saved the eyesight of two children, the girl's father told The Associated Press on Monday.

John Green said the Donor Network of Arizona told him and his wife about the successful transplants.

He said he doesn't know whether any of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green's other organs have gone to any other children, but he's under the impression that her wounds rendered her internal organs unusable.

good lord, i had no idea such a medical procedure is possible
 
Certainly are. They've been doing cornea transplants for a long time now. God bless him. What a difficult decision for a parent to have to make at such a horrible time.
