Brent (and
Kushibo) comes that
sad news that Hannah Warren, the 2-year-old girl born without a windpipe who had
a new one grown from her own stem cells, has died:
A 2-year-old girl who was implanted with a windpipe
grown from her own stem cells has died, three months after she became
the youngest person to receive the experimental treatment.
Hannah Warren died Saturday at Children's Hospital of Illinois in
Peoria, hospital spokeswoman Shelli Dankoff said. The hospital said in a
statement that Hannah couldn't "overcome additional health issues that
were identified as her care progressed."
Her family asked for privacy, but expressed their sorrow in a
fundraising blog updated Sunday: "She is a pioneer in stem-cell
technology and her impact will reach all corners of our beautiful Earth.
Her new trachea was performing well, but her lungs went from fairly
good, to weak, to poor."
