Whoa! CNN just said she was put on the top of the list. I'm sure that's a great comfort to the parents of any dying 15 yr old who was scheduled to be next.
If she gets an adult lung transplanted into her small body, I will be interested in following how long she lives after the surgery. Do you suppose Fox News will follow her story?
Funny how all you liberals were all so happy and excited when Steve Jobs was moved to the front of the line. Now your all worried about somebody getting moved back. Yet another example of how F'd up you folks are.
Funny how all you conservatives wanted Cheney to get that heart instead of a child who needed it.
Any member of the family, parent, sibling, child, spouse or a volunteer can donate their liver. The criteria for a liver donation include:
Being in good health
Having a blood type that matches or is compatible with the recipient's
Having a charitable desire of donation without financial motivation
Being between 18 and 60 years old
Being of similar or bigger size than the recipient
Before one becomes a living donor, the donor must undergo testing to ensure that the individual is physically fit. Sometimes CT scans or MRIs are done to image the liver. In most cases, the work up is done in 2–3 weeks [SIZE=2][9][/SIZE]
Well...........looks to me like you're the confused soul who brought up livers.
So he underwent treatment for pancreatic cancer for no reason? Is that what your going to argue now? My Lord you people are just plain insane. Go to UNOS and find the data if you want it. The link doesn't work for whatever reason and I'm not going to waste my time to provide it again and have you ignore it. Go look on the web and form your own opinions on Jobs jumping the line. Why should I waste my time with you fools who will argue till your blue in the face about it when you have no idea what your even arguing about. You think you just say oh hey I need a liver and a hundred days later one is handed over to you. Unreal.
Cystic Fibrosis is also a fatal disease that does not go away after a heart/lung transplant. The fact that this girl is dying at age 10 indicates that she has very severe cystic fibrosis. She will be lucky to live another 5 years with a transplant. How long did Steve Jobs live after his transplant?

I agree it would be stupid to give the sweet little girl a transplant. Tell her it is time to die.

She gets a lung and someone else does not. Are you going to tell them it is time to die? Maybe they are sweet too.
There are no winners here. Fact is, there are not enough organs to go around. So someone gets one and maybe lives and someone doesn't and probably dies. What makes this kid more special than anyone else?
