Benjamin Hardwick (6 December 1981 – 23 March 1985) was Britain's youngest liver transplant patient. He became a celebrity through appearing on the BBC television programme That's Life! after his parents appealed for more awareness of organ donation when their son, who suffered from biliary atresia, urgently needed a transplant. While he also became the first child in the country to receive a liver transplant, the initial transplant failed. After a second transplant the following year, he died of complications at the age of 3. Following this event, at least £10,000 was raised in Hardwick's name to support other seriously ill children.

  • Benjamin Hardwick (6 December 1981 – 23 March 1985) was Britain's youngest liver transplant patient. He became a celebrity through appearing on the BBC television programme That's Life! after his parents appealed for more awareness of organ donation when their son, who suffered from biliary atresia, urgently needed a transplant. While he also became the first child in the country to receive a liver transplant, the initial transplant failed. After a second transplant the following year, he died of complications at the age of 3. Following this event, at least £10,000 was raised in Hardwick's name to support other seriously ill children. In his memory, his family set up the Ben Hardwick Memorial Fund, which aimed to offer financial support to the families of children who suffer from primary liver disease. British celebrity Esther Rantzen, who hosted That's Life! and co-wrote a book based on Ben's story, was a trustee on the fund's board. The Ben Hardwick Fund took over the work of the Ben Hardwick Memorial Fund in 1997. Esther Rantzen is patron of the present fund, which helps children suffering from primary liver disease with costs associated with their illness. In 1985 Marti Webb released as a tribute a cover version of the Michael Jackson song "Ben", which reached number 5 in the UK charts, the royalties being donated to the Memorial Fund. (en)
  • Бенджамин Хардвик (англ. Benjamin Hardwick; 6 декабря 1981 — 23 марта 1985) — был самым молодым пациентом по пересадке печени. Он стал известным благодаря телевизионной программе BBC «Это жизнь!», после того как его родители призвали к большему освещению проблемы донорства органов, когда их сыну, страдающему от заболевания печени, необходима была пересадка. Бен получил новую печень в возрасте до двух лет, но он скончался в больнице через несколько месяцев после своего третьего дня рождения. В память о нем его семья устроила Мемориальный фонд Бена Хардвика, целью которого было оказать финансовую поддержку детей, которые страдают от первичного заболевания печени. Британская знаменитость , которая ведет сериал «Это Жизнь!», написала совместную книгу, основанную на истории Бена. В 1985 году в память выпустил кавер-версию песни Майкла Джексона «Бен», который достиг пятого места в британских чартах, и принес гонорар Фонду. (ru)
