China's computerized organ-allocation system was used successfully for the first time in Beijing on Tuesday, as donated organs from a 47-year-old man were transplanted into three patients on Tuesday.
The donor died on Dec 7 from a cerebral hemorrhage in a suburban Beijing hospital.
"When he was alive, he once said that he hoped he could help other people continue their lives after he died," said a family member of the donor who declined to be identified.
