America Santillan (R), the aunt of Jesica Santillan, and Renee
McCormick (L), a spokesperson for Jesica's Hope Chest Inc., leave a
press conference held at Duke University Medical Center February 21,
2003 where Duke doctors told the media that Jesica Santillan has
irreversible brain damage after receiving two heart-lung transplants.
Santillan underwent the second surgery when it was determined that the
first set of organs was not compatible with her blood type.
