10 year old Sarah needs a lung transplant and her doctors said they believe?

they can successfullly perfom a lung transplant with an adult lung. Why does Sebelius say no? She is ignoring the doctors and sentencing the girl to death based on her age. Sounds like death panels to me.

The girl doesn't want to cut in line. Just be placed in line for an adult lung, which are more plentiful.

    You're right, I heard that there were only 10 child lungs available last year where as there were 1700 adult lungs last year and since she only has 3 to 5 weeks to live, Sebelius sentenced her to death, so much for compassionate libs. What scum she is.

    How you feel if was your sick kid who has been on the waiting list far longer than Sarah has and whose parents used a judge and the media to leap frog over and be # 1 on the runway

    Sebelius is right

    In my opinion a 10 year old girl should be bumped above people who ruined their lungs by smoking for 40 years anyway.

    I think they are finally letting her be on the adult list.. I just saw a breaking news article about it.

    Because she is following a 2004 LAW that says adults get priority over children for adult lungs. What, now you idiots DON'T want this administration to follow the law?

    It took a damn judge to give her a chance . I give that judge the King Solomon award.
