Parents proud of deceased donor son

The parents of Britain’s youngest organ donor said knowing their newborn son saved someone’s life had given them a great deal of comfort.

Teddy Houlston died only 100 minutes old because of a rare fatal condition that stopped his skull and brain from developing in the womb. His mother Jess Evans learned the news 12 weeks into her pregnancy with twins.

However, the 28-year-old and her fiance Mike Houlston were determined their son’s short life would make a big difference and allowed for his kidneys and heart valves to be donated.
