Currently, you need to be 12 for adult lungs.
Medical advancements now allow for younger. The doctors are saying she has excellent chances with an adult lung.
The bureaucracy hasn't kept up with medical advancements.
She's not being placed in front of anyone because of a judge or media coverage. Just allowed to be in the pool for consideration.
At least, that's what I've seen...
Doctors should be the decision makers here. Not HHS.

Thanks skipdup......that is 100% accurate. She isn't jumping in front of the line - just being added to the pool. The protocol is outdated.
If it was the POTHUS's daughter, would make an exception?
