Medically, Sebelius is probably correct; she probably consulted with people who told her that the difference in lung size between a child and adult or adolescent is too great and that such an operation would be unsuccessful.

Highly doubtful she contacted a single soul, and with the track record for Dems doing nothing for anyone who can't do anything for them, I'm unwilling to give them the benefit of the doubt.

They enjoy playing God way too much for that.

Morally, I’m looking at this and thinking, these people are fervently hoping and praying for a healthy, vibrant, and alive young person to die so that their sick daughter can get a transplant.

You have absolutely no proof that is the case and you assumption anyone 'hopes someone will die' in order to access a viable organ is not only patently disgusting, the statement itself says a great deal about the person who made it.

You have neither the justification nor the information to pass a moral judgment on total strangers and use YOUR moral assumptions to attack their character or motives just because they have a family member on a donor's list.

I have Pulmonary Fibrosis. Terminal with out a transplant. I talk to terminally ill lung patients many times a day. Sebelius was right on target. This tells me that someone had already don their home work. Everyone is talking from an emotional viewpoint because this a child. Are you as concerned about the 35 yo mother of several children that needs those lungs.
