'I've decided to donate my body to science after having a kidney transplant'

A kidney recipient who is "running on spare parts" has promised to donate his body to science .

Michael received a kidney transplant almost 23 years ago at Beaumont Hospital after being diagnosed with inflammation of both kidneys. His quality of life greatly improved post transplant and he has attended exercise and diet classes specifically tailored for organ recipients at Tallaght University Hospital.

He said that the new virtual classes organised by the hospital are a huge support for those managing their healthcare after organ donation. Michael said that he wants to give back to the medics who have helped him and will one day generously donate his body towards medicine.
