Photo; 100 minute Old Baby dies after Donating Kidney To Adult Stranger

A brave baby has become Britain's youngest ever organ donor, saving an adult stranger's life before he died just 100 minutes after he was born, his family said.

Teddy and Noah who were born on April 22, 2014 but Teddy Noah Houlston was diagnosed in the womb with [anencephaly], a fatal condition which typically leads to death within a few hours after birth gave away his Tiny kidneys and Heart Valves just 20 hours after passing, according to reports.

"Although he wasn't with us very long, and we brought him into the world knowing there was no hope of a life for him, we are incredibly proud of his heroism," his mother Jess Said.

The 28-year-old Cardiff mom detailed the heartbreaking moment for the first time Wednesday on the 1-year anniversary of Teddy's death.

The baby was a twin, but was doomed even before he was born when doctors diagnosed him with anencephaly, which prevents normal development of the brain and bones in the skull.
His parents decided he wouldn't die in vain, planning the organ donation early on.

The life-saving transplant went to a patient in Leeds with renal failure.
"When he was taken away, there was so much sadness. But there was also so much joy," Jess Said

Teddy's kidneys only measured 3.8 centimeters.

"It's impossible to explain how proud we are of him," his father Mike said.

Nothing could have prepared Jess and Mike for the deep sadness they both felt in that moment. Then something extraordinary happened.
