That’s kind of a dingbat question. Nobody ordered that she get the transplant in question. The order only specifies that she be considered as a recipient, totally subject to the normal medical selection process.

The government would not allow her to be even considered medically. The judge changed that. But cheer up, she can and likely will still be rejected for any of the numerous reasons other people are. However, they can no longer point to her age as the only reason they reject her.

Your argument makes no sense unless you argue that even if she is a fine match medically, has a fine chance for success, and is also the most in dire need of all possible recipients, that she should be excluded solely based upon her age.

Do you not understand that this is a TERRIBLE precedent? Now anyone who can rabble-rouse loudly enough can bully their way into higher chances than someone who can’t score as many “likes” and “upvotes”.
