>>>why not, for a set of lungs that would otherwise get tossed.

Again, you are assuming that the lung would otherwise get tossed. That is not what is being asked for here. They are asking the Secretary to overrule the medical body that sets these standards and add the girl the adult list. So, there could be an adult that is pushed lower by her presence on the list that dies.

If as asserted by you, there may be thornier triage questions. But it sounds like it’s being taken as all or nothing, rather than as maybe.

"So, there could be an adult that is pushed lower by her presence on the list that dies. "

That is not how it works..the person most likely to die gets it first..which would be the girl who you will not allow on the list because you like "the rules" even though you don't understand "the rules". But hey..rules rule and government snobs love them some rules..more than little girls apparently.
