I am very sorry for what you and everyone on the waiting lists are having to go through. As someone who had an immediate family member on one of those waiting lists, I appreciate your concerns. However, I stand by post #138.

Everyone in need deserves an equal chance at life based on the latest technology medical science has to offer. To simply turn our heads, and allow an outdated policy to stand, and ignore the fact that advances in medicine now means even younger patients are able to receive adult lungs is morally unacceptable.

I pray that same technology allows for increased availability, perhaps by growing organs outside the body, using parts of parts and etc.

God bless you, and all those on organ waiting lists. Hang in there. Advances in medicine are indeed increasing rapidly, and each new day offers new possibilities.
