There's fresh hope for a Bill which would provide financial support for live donors and is currently before Parliament. It follows the country's first three-way kidney transplant which allowed three live donors to be matched with compatible recipients. Health Minister Jonathan Coleman says live donors are in short supply. That Bill is going through because we need to make sure that people who are prepared to altruistically donate organs aren't going to be any financially worse off.Dr Coleman hopes the recent three-way kidney exchange, the first in New Zealand, gives hope for live donors, but says the issue of deceased donations needs to be addressed..

That's very cool how it got their with no sriracha on it from the things that are in space.This is a joint project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russia. The aim of the unmanned mission is to try to find out if life exists, or has ever existed, on Mars. On Sunday, the Schiaparelli lander separated from the main ship, the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).

Cutest Hedgehog Ever

Cutest Hedgehog Ever

Isn’t this the cutest hedgehog ever? Going by the name of Huff  but his full name is Sir Hodge Huffington and the three-year-old African Pygmy is making headlines for his cute fangs. Huff’s owner, Carolyn Parker, said he was a rescue hedgehog. The Utah student started taking pictures of Huff, and started sharing them on Instagram. Creating the Instagram account in February, Huff already has over 15, 000 followers. As for his sharp teeth, Parker says “all hedgehogs have little sharp teeth like Huff”. It seems his may be a little more pronounced, but for the most part I just try to get pictures that show off that cute feature.”

Trip To The Botanic Gardens

Today we went to the Botanic Gardens for a trip and it was hot because of the sun. It was fun when we went into the forest to see more of the flowers that were growing in there. There were lots of flowers that I have not seen before. I liked the rose garden the most because it had lots of rose. I also like the pink trees they make all the photos look good. We had to walk around the Botanic Garden it was hot but I kept on going. We had to go up hills and down hills but I liked taking photos. It was my best job of all job there is. I liked the yellow rose. I hope that we can go back there some other day.    

Native Forest

Native Forest 

When we go to the Botanic Gardens I will like to go to the Native Forest. Because it has all of the native birds and they even sing when theirs people around them. That is why I want to go and vest the Native Forest. I think that I will have the best time their. Seeing the native birds will be very cool and if we see other animals in the forest. It looks fun and it will be very good for a walk. There will be lots of water their.    

Auckland Zoo’s last Hippo Dies

It is very sad that the Auckland Zoo's last remaining hippo named Faith died. This is so sad that it might make people cry. The hippopotamus was 41 years old  and been unwell for a few days and was put to sleep on Tuesday. Faith had been showing signs of signs of a disease that makes it bleed in the lung. A short statement from the zoo said the disease is a terminal condition and euthanasia was the only option. Faith’s son, Fudge, died in March at the age of 28.Both hippos were born at the zoo Faith in 1975 and Fudge in 1988. The average life-span of a hippo is 40-50 years. The hippo enclosure would remain closed on Wednesday. Image Link
