Organ donors are some of the most selfless people in the world, so it’s always emotional when someone who received an organ from a donor can meet their family.
That’s what happened when 22-year-old Katherine Herrmann met the family of an organ donor who gave her a new heart. Hermann received her new heart last summer, after having a lifetime of heart problems and 20 surgeries, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

In fact, these organisms are the way they are because of the tiny partners they house within and on them. These microbes constitute the microbiome: an 'invisible organ' weighing approximately 2.5 to three kilograms in an adult human and much more in larger animals.
