Drilon, Ma nila Bulletin. FATHER DONATES KIDNEY TO DAUGHTER Because it was “something a father ought to do,” John Honeycutt donated a kidney in a deli cate transplant operation to his teenage daughter so she might live. Jonnie Gail Honeycutt, 14, and her 48-year-old father John were doing well after the surgery. A tulane university surgical team which has performed numerous kidney transplants, including several animal-to-human operations, transferred a healthy kidney from father to daughter. Jonnie Qail was slowly dying of a kidney ail ment. Doctors felt a transplant was her best chance. Doctors made no prediction on the possible success of the operation. But in two similar cases where transplants from close relatives were involv ed the patients are in good condition after more than one year. Jonnie Gail will be under close observation for at least two years. Her father will not be able to go back to work as a foundryman for about two months. — U.P.I. 20 Panorama
