<strong>There are some true events that warm one&rsquo;s heart, reinforcing the goodness of human beings. One such incident which happened recently and has gone viral is that of a man who tried to save an injured turtle and recovered her eggs to enable life for her progeny to go on.</strong></p>
<p>
The Good Samaritan, Eric C Martens, is a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan in the US, and he came across an injured turtle in his neighbourhood. The animal was frantically looking for a place to lay her eggs. Rescuing her and the eggs he did a C-section. Revealing all the details in his Twitter which has gone viral, he said that the eggs had been placed in a substrate and incubated.</p>
<p>
In his first tweet he wrote: <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/trending-news/story/man-performs-c-section-on-dying-turtle-to-save-its-eggs-shares-story-on-viral-twitter-thread-1835872-2021-08-02">&ldquo;This story starts sad but has a happy</a> ending: In early June I got out of my car coming home from work to help a turtle cross the road in our neighbourhood, only to find that a careless driver had already hit and killed her.&rdquo;</p>

Figuring she was searching for a place to lay eggs. I brought her home, did a secondary euthanasia just to be sure and then my best attempt at a turtle C-section, which revealed 7 perfect eggs (attached picture) that I placed in substrate and started incubating (sic).&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Continuing his tale Martens said: &ldquo;While I was getting the eggs out, a massive storm came through, undoubtedly what motivated her to leave the water that night. Then, a brilliant rainbow, which (as corny as it sounds) would intersect the ground right where I found her in the road from the perspective taken (sic).&rdquo;</p>
<p>
With the tiny turtles out of the eggs, Martens is now busy taking care of them. &ldquo;Today her eggs started hatching! So far with 2 fully emerged and healthy and at least 3 more on the way. They&#39;ll get a few days to get to full strength and maybe a meal or two before going back into the same pond their mom came from (sic),&rdquo; he wrote.</p>
