A Russian man, Semen Gendler, given a liver transplant by an African-American donor has claimed the operation is turning his skin black.

Gendler, from Krasnodar, southwest Russia, urgently needed the transplant after being diagnosed with hepatitis C and cancer. Doctors said his only hope was a liver transplant, and after contacting business partners in the USA, Gendler flew there for the life-saving operation.

He was given the liver of an unnamed, 38-year-old African-American man for the transplant, which reportedly cost him around £325,000. Reports claimed Mr Gendler obtained a liver transplant after paying the large sum in the U.S, where the operations can be agreed more quickly than in Russia.

Gendler said the transplant initially gave him ‘a new lease of life’, but was then told by a work colleague that his skin ‘seemed to be changing colour’.


His colleague Igor Atamanenko said: ‘I noticed that his skin was getting darker. When he told me they had given him the liver of an African-American man, I guess that was probably the reason for the colour change.

‘I have known my friend for years and he has always been if anything extremely pale, and now for the first time ever he is becoming dark skinned.’ Gendler denied that the skin colour change could’ve simply come from a suntan. He said: ‘I could end up much darker than this to be honest, I don’t care.

The main thing is that the liver works and I am healthy. It’s incredible, I am now so full of energy and living between two cities in New York and Krasnodar and if my skin ends up dark who cares, I certainly don’t.’

He said that he had never been somebody to go out in the sun much and had always avoided it even after the transplant which meant he didn’t believe a suntan was the reason for the change in colour of his skin.

I Smell Racism...let d doctors collect d liver back from him and let's see what happens. Ingrate.


I wonder how most people pass comprehension passages (I blame it on special centers and all forms of examination malpractises),

Back. To d passage.....y is he telling the world about he's new skin colour even despite d fact dat he's claiming to be happy ?
Simple answer:he. Doesn't want to be. Tagged as a racist

It is true! According to metaphysical acupuncture philosophy, the liver is responsible for skin colour.

Interesting

NONSENSE

The man actually said he is doing well and full of energy and that he doesn't care if his colour turns black.

Well what I see in that picture isn't black, but a little tanning due to exposure to sunlight and aging.....

The pictures are decades apart so the skin colors can't remain the same

EMO RE O!!!

Did u even read the story or is it that u find it hard 2 comprehend?

Nairalanders and their habit of commenting without reading or adequate knowledge of a story.Just so absurd!!!

smh

The story is true.Its on yahoo news.You can do a google search on it

the man is intelligent

The guy should be grateful to God for turning dark.

Black is ORIGINAL.

it seems most of readers above me didn't bother to read the article....as they are shouting racist, racist.....the niggur say he doesn't care.

Damn!!!
This is a clearly evident case of extreme racism.... It couldnt get worse....
What does he imply He should be grateful for even having a kidney donated to him, than for him to opine that way....
Its truly sad that these things still happen....

Well he should turn Blue if he feels like it

Africans full of energy, even their liver is energy packed.


we are all one kind created by one God, irrespective of d skin colour

Hmmmmm

Should have the liver checked again...might be breaking down

He should,a reaction of his body to the transplant..
