dough; and their batter contains sesame and miso rather
than vanilla and butter. They contain X, however, the small

Q23:) Denise Ann Darval and her family were visiting friends for
afternoon tea and went shopping for cake. They were run over by a
drunk driver who failed to see them n Main Road in Observatory, Cape
Town. Her mother died immediately. Darval sustained a skull
fracture and severe head injuries, after the car flung her across the road
and her head hit the wheel cap of her own car. She could not stay alive
without life support, and was essentially brain dead. At 9 p.m. on the
day of the accident, the resuscitation team stopped trying to revive her.
Surgeons had a serious ethical problem because death then could only
be declared by whole-body standards. . The problem in this case was
that, although Denise's brain was damaged, her heart was
healthy. Her kidneys were given to 10-year-old Jonathan van Wyk. Due
to the apartheid era, the kidney donation to Van Wyk was controversial
because he was coloured, while Denise was white. What happened
next??
