Location: atlanta | There's a petition on Change.org to either change the current rules for children's lung transplants or make an exception to that rule. This is in reference to Sarah Murnaghan, a 10 year old girl in a Philidelphia hospital, she's is dying of cystic fibrosis and needs a lung transplant in the next two weeks. Because she is under the age of 12 she is only eligable to receive donor lungs from another child under the age of 12 which narrows her chances of survival dramatically. |

Very weird reasoning behind that ruling, saving life is saving life, no matter who it is.
I'm on an organ register file in case I cark it. I'd die a happy man knowing bits of me was giving someone else a chance at life.
I'm over to that website petition if my penny worth helps.
