Yes,I did understand. What I am saying is that according to early result,they were able to modify the liver to fit her body.

If it is possible to modify livers to fit patients, why shouldn't children be given that opportunity. If her doctors, felt it had some chance of success,they I would rather go with what a doctor says than some bureaucrat in Washington.

I'm with you on that for sure., But first it was lungs, not a liver in this case. That liver business was my example of political correctness and liberal viewpoints in the transplant business, and second was the Bastiat thing that what we see here is the happened in the liver example earlier. With limited resources like transplant organs every one who goes to the head of the recipient list means that someone else doesn't get the life saving organ. Not a decision I'd want to make, but the hard science says that the her mean survival time is only going to be 3.4 years. Is this the best use of the lungs?
