Il Dono che Guarisce è pubblicato congiuntamente dallo United Network for Organ Sharing (www.unos.org) e dalla Nicholas Green Foundation (www.nicholasgreen.org). E’ stato scritto da Reg Green, il papà di Nicholas, il bambino Californiano che fu ucciso durante una tentata rapina mentre era in vacanza con la famiglia in Italia. La storia catturò l’attenzione del mondo intero quando Reg e sua moglie Maggie donarono gli organi e le cornee del figlio a sette Italiani. Lo United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) è l’organizzazione no-profit che gestisce il sistema della donazione degli organi negli Stati Uniti e che è focalizzata nel far crescere la donazione degli organi attraverso la tecnologia, l’educazione e la ricerca. ----------------------------------------- Le storie di questo libro parlano della vita che emerge dalla morte. Un ufficiale di polizia, dato per spacciato sotto una scarica di proiettili, può di nuovo giocare a golf e pescare; una donna i cui polmoni erano così malridotti da dover dipendere dall’ossigeno, ha scalato 1500 metri fino alla sommità del famoso Half Dome in California portandosi dietro uno zaino di 11 chili; un uomo che stava lottando per la vita è diventato campione Olimpico. Da un lato, queste storie raccontano di trapianti di organi e tessuti umani che hanno salvato delle vite e, dall’altro, parlano dell’altruismo, che è fonte di ispirazione, delle famiglie che li hanno donati nel momento più buio della loro vita. ----------------------------------------- Andrea Scarabelli, laureato in Economia e Commercio presso l’Università ’La Sapienza’ di Roma, era uno studente di 21 anni quando Nicholas Green fu ucciso. Come milioni di altre persone, rimase profondamente colpito dalla tragedia, quindi ispirato dalla decisione dei Green. Da allora è diventato un amico intimo della famiglia ed ha lavorato a molti progetti insieme a loro, incluse traduzioni -per giornali, siti web, Televisioni nazionali, per accrescere la consapevolezza della scarsità degli organi donati.'
