Old Toys Get Donated Limbs To Teach Kids About Organ Transplants

Figures in Japan show that for every 14,000 people on the transplant list, only 300 of those will receive the organs they need.
So, if organ donation is to become mainstream, it's important that education begins at an early age.
A campaign from Japan's Second Life Toys had a very clever idea. Hoping to raise awareness of organ donation, Second Life Toys is giving new limbs to tired old plushies destined for the trash.
