Parentsof dying 10 year old girl challenge organ donor rule
I was surprised to learn this and really wondering why such a rule exists. I would think that by default a child would receive transplants before adults, not the other way around. That is, at least, what seems right to me. Does anyone know if there is a reason for this like increased complications or something of that nature? Further, do you disagree or agree with this rule?Sarah Murnaghan, who has only weeks to live, is eligible for adult donor lungs, but because of her age, she can only receive them after all adult candidates regardless of the seriousness of their condition have the chance to receive them.
