I just wish it didn't take a little girl dying to remind people to put kids first.

Who wouldn't want that, she says.
Not I, said the evil Night Owl. Why on earth should the kid get the lungs first JUST because she's a kid? The commenters are displaying that they've put more thought into this than the original ranter. Organs have to be matched according to tissue compatibility and size and whatever else. After that, I can see putting the most severe case first, but in no circumstance would I say we should always put the kid ahead of an adult on a transplant list JUST because it's a kid.

I will never be an organ donor because of stories like this. If I outlive my husband I won't allow his organs to be harvested either.
This kind of article would never be written about a CF adult. If the only good we are to this world is tax dollars and spare parts then I want no part of that

One other aspect of the ethical and practical issues that this article never addressed was that most breeders do not donate body parts of their deceased children.
THAT is why there are not quantities of readily available lungs for children such as these.

Here's the thing, though: the kid has cystic fibrosis. A lung transplant will only delay for a short time the inevitable early death she was sentenced. The new lung will not cure her disease, but eventually become as useless as her current set of lungs in a few years. If any of you watched that show, 7th Heaven, the actress who played the youngest daughter (Ruthie) had a stepsister with CF in real life. The sister died a few years ago from the illness, despite having had a double lung transplant a few years prior.
Another person could use that lung and live for another several decades. Save the organs for when it will do some actual good and improve quality of life for a significant period of time.
Grant the girl her final wishes, let her have some fun, and let her die at home in familiar surroundings and with loved ones. And then never breed again because to have another child with CF ought to be a punishable offense.
