Man given baboon liver
dies after suffering a stroke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — A man who
received a baboon's liver in the
first such animal-to-human trans
plant died late Sunday after suf
fering a stroke and lapsing into a
coma, the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center reported.
Dr. Howard R. Doyle, a mem
ber of the Pitt transplant team,
said doctors were trying to wean
the 35-year-old man from a respi
rator Sunday afternoon when they
discovered the man's brain was
bleeding.
The man suffered a stroke, and
nearly seven hours later he was
pronounced dead of intracranial
bleeding. Doctors didn't immedi
ately know what caused the
bleeding, he said.
"It all happened very quickly,"
Doyle said.
The man, whose name has been
withheld at his request, received
the historic transplant during an
11-hour operation on June 28.
He suffered from hepatitis B,
which was destroying his own liv
er and likely would have attacked
any transplanted human liver,
doctors said.
Until the last week of August he
appeared to be recovering well
from surgery.
On July 3, doctors upgraded his
condition to serious, and then to
fair on July 28. He suffered a mi
nor bout with rejection in mid-
July but doctors quickly con
trolled it with steroids.
The man's condition started to
slide on or about Aug. 25, when
fever sent him back to the ‘
tal's intensive-care unit. „
Within a week, his conditio
had been downgraded twici
critical, and since Tuesday he ho
been on a respirator because of!
infection that impaired his
function. High doses of antibioti
kept the infection from gettin
worse but failed to cure it.
Doctors believe the man devf
oped sepsis, a blood infection, 1'
ter dye was injected into his b«
duct Aug. 28 for an X-ray,
bly introducing a bacteria.
Physicians also speculated fe
he may have experienced son*
unknown form of organ rejectiot
although a biopsy taken Aug
showed no sign that the liver M
being rejected.

"Nobody wants to go into east
Germany," said Charles Baubeng,
a 29-year-old Ghanian who ar
rived in Munich two months ago,
then was sent to a refugee home
in the east German city of Breiten-
heerda.
"The violence is bad. But the
other parts . . . the way people
here look at you and talk to you.
They hate Africans," he said.
The idea that has drawn the
most debate, however, is tighten
ing Germany's liberal asylum law
and reducing the number of
refugees across the entire nation.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl's
Christian Democrats are fighting
to change the constitution, which
now lets everyone who utters the
word "asylum" stay in the coun
try until their applications are
processed, which takes about a
year.
A constitutional change would
require the support of the left
leaning Social Democrats, i
is waging an internal struggle
over the idea.
In a weekend vote of the Socii
Democrat lawmakers in Hess'
state, a proposal to support'
tougher asylum law was narrow!
defeated, 161-133.
Another prominent Social Df
mocrat, Munich Mayor Georj
Kronawitter, said in an intent#
in this week's edition of the news
magazine Der Spiegel that he fi
vored quotas for specific states
that have "too many" refugeeso:
one nationality.
