>>>Long enough for her parents to love her another day.

So what do you say to the children of the adult that might otherwise have been the recipient and may perhaps live another 50 years with a transplant.

>>>even a single minute is more valuable than anything else on the face of the earth, especially if that minute is the last one you’ll ever spend with the child that you made.

What basis are you using to determine that the minutes for this family more valuable than other families?

Nothing. Might doesn't matter. She is about to die now. May doesn't matter either, because they also may not. It seems to me the person closest to death's door is the person who needs it most.

I am using the basis that she has few minutes left if nothing is done.

If there are other patients as close to death as she is, then they would need to be considered too, but I think telling her family that she doesn't qualify because she is too young is nonsense.
