Annie L Simmons

A daughter’s gift to her mother saves two lives

• I wanted to be a donor for my sister, said Annie Simmons, 49, a fitness trainer and pet-sitter in Caldwell, Idaho. But her liver was too small for Connie Saragoza de Salinas, who lives in Sacramento.When the testing showed the surgery could go forward, there was one last hurdle to clear. Because the risk to Aliana Deveza was much greater than the risk to Annie Simmons, the doctors had to decide whether this first-ever arrangement was ethical.surgeon Nancy Ascher removed the right lobe of Aliana Devezas liver, which Roberts (who is Aschers husband) then implanted in Connie Saragoza. Other surgeons removed Erosalyn Devezas two badly impaired kidneys and Annie Simmonss healthy left kidney, which was implanted in Erosalyn Deveza.
