Parents refuse to donate kidney to dying daughter, say 'she is a girl'

With no money to pay for her kidney transplant, the parents rushed Kanchan back home in Sheikhpura and admitted her to the local Sadar hospital, the main government hospital in the district.

A teenage girl has been battling for life at a government hospital in Bihar after both her kidneys have failed. What is shocking, though, is the response of her parents who have refused to donate their kidneys saying they can't do so since she is a girl!

Kanchan Kumari, a resident of Avgil village under Sadar block in Sheikhpura district, had appeared for matriculation examination from a local government girl's high school this year. Her joy knew no bounds when she passed the examination in the first division.

Life took a sharp turn soon thereafter. Hardly had the celebration ended when she fell seriously sick. Subsequently, her parents took her to the local hospitals in the town and then at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), Patna for treatment. Subsequent tests conducted on her confirmed that both her kidneys had failed.
