And then eight years passed and nobody thought to update it yet. Maybe this falls in the debatable area, but if all concerned directly with the proposed procedure are copacetic with it (even the ailing girl)... why not, for a set of lungs that would otherwise get tossed.

>>>why not, for a set of lungs that would otherwise get tossed.

Again, you are assuming that the lung would otherwise get tossed. That is not what is being asked for here. They are asking the Secretary to overrule the medical body that sets these standards and add the girl the adult list. So, there could be an adult that is pushed lower by her presence on the list that dies.

The lungs will NOT be tossed. I have many friends that are waiting for the call, hope that it comes before it is too late. Many of these people have small children to raise.
