I am a Pediatric ICU Nurse, I think I know a thing or two about saving lives, and lung transplants. At least I don't play a keyboard Elmo impersonator!

I'm not surprised that you haven't read Roe v. Wade, but here's a little hint, abortion is a medical decision between a woman and her physician.
Let's hope that no adults were better matches for the transplanted lungs, and let's all hope that Sarah does thrive on this second transplant. The fact that they were infected with pneumonia suggests that the second transplant was desperate.

Indeed. Sad as it is, it would not surprise me at all if this little girl passes away in the next few days. Poor thing.
No, liberals are against the Conservatives' belief that government and not doctors should make medical decisions.
Well the government are the ones who set the mandate on the age to get lungs. The doctors wanted them to ease it for her.
"Sarah’s doctors have decided that transplanting a set of adult lungs is appropriate in her case."
Also they are looking at this on a case by case basis so perhaps this will save some other childs life down the road if not hers. As was mentioned earlier liberals hate children. The can't vote yet so serve no purpose to their agendas.

The committee that set transplant rules were doctors.
The girls personal doctor pushed for her to get on the list, just like most doctors push for their patient.
That doesn't change the fact that the guidelines were put in place for a reason, and now 2 sets of lungs that should have gone to people with a better survival possibility have now gone to a child with an aggressive disease that will kill her with or without transplants.
And all because a judge felt that they knew better than the doctors that put the protocol in place.
Liberals are against judges making medical decisions, and over ruling medical professionals who put the guidelines in place.
But you are for judges over ruling the will of the people.
