A 15-year-old Australian liver transplant patient has defied modern medicine by
taking on her donor's immune system.

Demi-Lee Brennan had a liver transplant after she suffered liver failure. Nine
months later, doctors at Sydney's Westmead Children's Hospital were amazed to
find the teenager's blood group had changed to the donor's blood type.

Share and enjoy,
