Meedenerweg 5, 9892 TB, Feerwerd, The Netherlands aut King Sivi and doctor Silva [Elektronische Daten] [M. Van Andel] The classical legend of ca. 500 BC about Buddha who in his former life as King Sivi wished to give a part of his body to the first one who asked for it, lies at the root of the success story of the indefatigable Dr Silva of Colombo, who succeeded through the oldest known story about donation of organs to make Sri Lanka the ‘world champion' in eye donation. The legend is quoted in this article, followed by a short introduction of Dr Hudson Silva and his remarkable activities.
