>>>the person most likely to die gets it first

Yes, that is what I was saying. If added to the list she could take an opportunity from another person on the list.

>>>because you like "the rules" even though you don't understand "the rules".

I assume that there is a reason why they chose not to transplant adult lungs into children and established two different lists. Putting an adult lung into a child is likely much riskier than putting it into an adult.

>>>But hey..rules rule and government snobs love them some rules..more than little girls apparently.

Hard cases make bad law. Why do you love this girl more than perhaps the mother who dies because she is pushed down the list.

Why do you love this girl more than perhaps the mother who dies because she is pushed down the list.

This child has been on the list for over 18 months. How many opportunities at life were missed due to this outdated policy??? Why do you insist she die for some hypothetical, when she needs a lung now?

Advancements in medicine allow for the transplantation of adult lungs in children younger than 12. It is the height of obstinance to not to take this into consideration when deciding who gets an organ, and who doesn't.

We don't know if there is someone who will miss out if she gets on the list. We do know she will die very soon if she doesn't. At the very least, she and others like her deserve an equal chance.

"there is a reason why they chose not to transplant adult lungs into children" There was..but there isn't any longer..you should maybe read through some threads for some info..oh and as to the rest of your wild twisted comments to satisfy an agenda of butt kissing Obamacare's mistress, it is not not really cool to bend logic to harm another human unless you are a commie.

Maybe you should ask to be part of the next IRS Star Trek episode...you make a perfect Borg impression. Like the collective much, outdated rule lover?
