Florida woman recipient in hand transplant

Surgeons at Emory University Hospital have successfully transplanted a new left hand onto a 21-year-old woman who lost hers to illness as a child, the first such procedure in Georgia and one that may eventually help soldiers who lose limbs in combat, doctors announced Monday.

This will be good news for lots of people when the procedure can be performed more widely.
