Arm transplant recipient says
he can now hold iancée’s hand
Retired Marine
will pursue dream
of becoming a chef
BOSTON (AP) — A
former Marine sergeant who
underwent a double arm
transplant said Wednesday
that the best part about
having arms again is that
he can hold his iancée’s
hand and pursue his lifelong
dream of becoming a chef.
Retired Sgt. John Peck,
who lost all four limbs as
the result of an explosion
of a homemade bomb in
Afghanistan in May 2010,
underwent 14 hours of
surgery at Brigham and
Women’s
Hospital
in
August. The procedure
involved 60 doctors, nurses
and other medical personnel.
His arms are scarred and
move awkwardly, but every
day with the new limbs is
better, he said at a news
conference at the hospital.
He is learning to dress
himself, brush his teeth and
feed himself all over again.
The irst time he held
iancée Jessica Paker’s hand
after the surgery, he couldn’t
even feel it, but it still meant
the world.
“That truly is a special
gift,” he said, adding later
that he can now feel pres-
sure when she squeezes.
Peck, 31, will probably

need nine to 12 months of
rehabilitation before the
nerves are fully functional
again, said Dr. Simon
Talbot, the lead surgeon.
Peck, originally from
Antioch, Illinois, now lives
in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
He said he’s wanted to be a
chef since he was 12.
“As a result of surgery,
I’ll be able to pursue my
dreams,” he said. He’s
already started cooking but
because he doesn’t have full
feeling in the new limbs, he
has to be careful he doesn’t
cut or burn himself. He
plans to visit France and
Italy to hone his craft, he
said.
Peck also thanked the
donor, whose family wishes
to remain anonymous.
“I will remember his
sellessness and gift until
the day I die,” he said.
According to Johns
Hopkins Medicine, hand
and arm transplants have
been performed on more
than 85 people around the
world. This was the fourth
double arm or hand trans-
plant performed at Brigham
and Women’s.

Paris climate agreement to take effect Nov. 4
UNITED
NATIONS
(AP) — A landmark agree-
ment on climate change will
enter into force on Nov. 4,
backed by a coalition of the
world’s largest polluters and
small island nations threat-
ened by rising seas.
U.N.
Spokesman
Farhan Haq said the EU,
Canada and Nepal are all
expected to deposit their
instruments of ratiication
over the course of the day
Wednesday, edging the
percentage of emissions by
ratifying countries past the
55 percent threshold needed
for the treaty to take effect.
“I am delighted to
announce that today the
Paris
Agreement
will
cross the second and inal
threshold needed for entry
into force, and will enter into
force on 4 November 2016,”
Secretary Ban Ki-moon said
in a statement issued from
Europe.
The deal takes effect
30 days after 55 countries,
accounting for at least 55
percent of global emissions,
have adopted it. Sixty-two
countries had done so as of
Tuesday but they accounted
only for about 52 percent of
emissions.
With the addition of
Nepal, Canada and the seven
EU countries that have so
far ratiied the deal, the
countries now account for
an estimated 58.7 percent of
emissions.
A U.N. website said
currently 72 of the 197
parties to the treaty,
accounting for 56.75 of the
world’s greenhouse gas
emissions, have oficially
ratiied. It wasn’t clear if all
the parties that had planned
to deposit their ratiications
Wednesday, which may
account for the discrepancy.
“It’s clearly a momentous
moment in terms of global
action on climate change,”
said David Waskow, inter-
national climate director at
World Resources Institute.
“This has been much more
rapid than anticipated and
demonstrates
political
support for the agreement.”
The Paris agreement
commits rich and poor
countries to take action
to curb the rise in global
temperatures that is melting
glaciers, raising sea levels
and shifting rainfall patterns.
It requires governments to
present national plans to
reduce emissions to limit
global temperature rise to
well below 3.6 degrees
Fahrenheit.
While the targets in the
agreement are not legally
binding, the treaty does
require countries to report
on emissions and their
progress on reaching the
goals in the national climate
plans they submitted to
the U.N. The countries are
also required to maintain
those plans, update them
every ive years and pursue
measures to implement their
stated goals.
