North Vancouver man gives father gift of life
Son makes life-saving liver donation
 
By Drake Fenton

North Vancouver resident and father of four Ahmed Elneweihi was given a Father's Day gift he never anticipated receiving -- his son's liver.

 ...

Ahmed's children, Tarek, Sameer, Dalia and Nadia, were all willing to donate. Following blood tests, it was found that three of his children were not correct matches. Only Sameer, 30, was deemed suitable to be his liver donor.

 ...

"I was concerned and worried about my son because I read on the Internet that there are some dangers to donors," he said. "We discussed it and I saw that he was quite willing to do it, and he told me he was not concerned about himself, and that he was more concerned about me."
