Apparently live liver transplants have been taking place for the past 15 years.
However, in the UK, the first NHS live liver transplant took place this week.
Again, the first time chip and pin was introduced in the UK was last year or the year before. That is, before then you couldn't use plastic to buy something without signing for it - something that has been done in Jamaica for years.
Why on earth has it taken 15 years to do the liver transplant here on the NHS - a service most people use. I assume the qualification of saying 'on the NHS' means there might be a possibility it has been done here privately - but I wouldn't bet on it.
Globally, we must revisit ideas about who is truly advanced and who is not.
