Organs of Armin Khosravi’s body are living in other bodies
Armin Khosravi was generous and his generosity continued after death


Payam Poorjamasp:  After hearing the news of the tragic death of Armin Khosravi, on Friday morning, which brought a bitter grief into me, hearing another news the same day, gave me a strange feeling of awe and wonder:  Armin’s body parts will be living in others’ bodies.  Such sacrifice is hard to believe.  I’m still grieved.  A week has passed and I am living with his memories.
This loss will doubtless be heavy upon his parents, brother and sister and his fiancé.
But, aren’t we all Iranians and Zoroastrians, followers of humanity and unity, work and good deeds, joy and happiness?  Don’t we pray for happiness in our Ashem Vohu prayer everyday and that we should always strive to make others happy?  As followers of this doctrine, his family did something great; donating the organs of their beloved son to save the lives of others.
On Friday morning, after Armin passed away (following an accident), his father, Esfandiar Khosravi, agreed to donate two of his heart valves and his right arm bone, to be used for other patients.
This decision may have caused objection among his family members but he justified this deed by stating this sentence:  “Armin was a generous boy”.
Sometimes words cannot express feelings.  Even the Persian language, with so many beautiful phrases comes short of words.  What Armin’s father did was so noble that there is no need to search for words.  So, I will keep silent here and wish eternal joy in paradise for Armin and forbearance for his family.
