Peggy Noonan (former Presidential speech writer) who writes columns and articles (N.Y. Times?) had a niece who donated a liver lobe to a relative. Peggy was so impressed by her courage and generosity that she wrote an article about it ("Good Housekeeping"? "Woman's Day"? don't recall). After recovery she also invited her niece to attand a swanky formal affair for big-wigs in Washington. Peggy had a designer make for her neice a special formal gown for the occasion with a large cut-out beautifully arranged in the front to show off her "Mercedez-benz" donation scar.
She was the hit of the evening, with some asking to take a closer look (for educational reasons, of course.)
