The little girl isn’t getting a lung transplant by order of the judge. She is only getting added to the adult transplant list by order of the judge. She will still have to wait her turn on the adult transplant list.
It’s a very dangerous precedent that anyone other than a DOCTOR has any say whatsoever in this! Even the fact she’s on the adult list means rules were arbitrarily broken, rather than examined and changed, as the direct result of pressure tactics.
Allowing the appearance that a larger “cheering section” gets you any edge at all will be the downfall of the system. I, who would have accepted the risks of being written off for parts and checked the box accordingly, will be removing my name from the list come next renewal because the idea of someone “cute” getting a leg up on a nobody disgusts me.
