Those “written in stone” policies were in place for a real medical reason.

I'm glad we have people like Kathleen Sebelius who get to make rules for “real medical reasons”. Because the day she turned twelve things magically would have changed and she would be assured of life, certainly not.

If you ever need medical help, even if it won't allow you to live a normal life, keep your words in mind. Especially if you fail the mortality test required to get treatment. http://www.westernjournalism.com/obamacare-death-panels-are-here/

Does anyone still remember Terri Schiavo? Just because you wouldn't want to live that way doesn't mean you have the right to tell someone to die that way.

Sebelius didn’t make that rule. A team of transplant experts made the rule to give the recipient the best chance for survival.

I have a terminal lung disease {Pulmonary Fibrosis). I know about transplants. You are right unless you have been in this situation, you are only speaking from emotion. I walk in those shoes where only a double lung transplant will give me a FEW more years at best.
