Transplant family's 'heart trick' (Scotland)

A Scottish family could become the first in the UK to undergo three heart transplants. Stephen Moffat, 12, from Cleland, Lanarkshire, and Rachael, 7, were the first siblings to have transplants for a hereditary heart problem. Now their father, Andrew, 45, requires the operation for the same condition. He told the BBC Scotland news website: "It is very rare. Rather than a hat trick - we would be going for a 'heart trick'."
