Hoax! Little boy needs 100 Facebook shares for a heart transplant

A new hoax is spreading between Facebook users in the mistaken belief that sharing a picture of a sick boy in intensive care will grant him a heart transplant. The message is nonsense – and simply clogs up Facebook users walls and newsfeeds. According to the Urban Legends blog on About.com, the number belongs to the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield in Bangalore, India. The clinic gives free medical assistance, and does not base surgery upon anything related to Facebook.”]
