While incredibly noble, this by itself isn’t out-of-the-ordinary; as organ transplants regularly take place across the world. What makes this particular case unusual is that the woman in question herself had received a kidney two years ago through a transplant thus making this the first time such an operation has successfully been conducted in India and the second time it has been conducted across the world.
