In the title of the Will Smith movie Seven Pounds, the seven pounds perhaps references the combined weight of the organs, plus the keys and title to his home he donates. The literary reference is to Shakespeare's Merchant of Veniceand the debt of a pound of flesh that must be paid. Smith's character is paying a similar debt, for the deaths of seven people in an automobile crash for which he feels responsible; one pound each. His donations are made to seven deserving people:

# a lung lobe to his brother Ben;

# part of his liver to Holly the social worker;

# a kidney to a junior hockey coach, George;

# bone marrow to the boy Nicholas; # his home to abused Connie Tepos and her son and daughter; # his eyes to blind piano playing meat salesman, Ezra Turner; # and his heart to print artist, Emily Posa.
