Doctors in China have carried out the world's first spinal disc transplants on five patients, a study says. The discs were placed in the necks of four men and a woman by a University of Hong Kong-led team. They were taken, with the consent of relatives, from the spines of three young female donors who had died suddenly as a result of trauma. Go to BBC NEWS for more info.
