An Indian woman committed suicide so her two blind sons could receive her eyes and see, a newspaper reported Monday.
But doctors say the chances of success are bleak, The Indian Express reported.
Thirty-seven-year-old Tamizhselvi’s sons, Kumaran, 17, and Kumar, 15, have been blind since birth.
Doctors in the southern city of Chennai say Kumar’s condition cannot be helped with a cornea transplant and also suspect his elder brother does not have a cornea defect.
“We had told the family earlier itself that a corneal transplant was not needed for the younger son,” the Express quoted hospital official G. Seethalakshmi saying.
