A US federal judge has allowed a severely-ill 10-year-old girl a prime spot on the list to receive an adult lung transplant, despite her young age.
Sarah Murnaghan has been in hospital for three months with end-stage cystic fibrosis, but children under 12 are given last priority for adult lungs.
The Obama administration had declined to intervene. Analysts warn the judge’s decision sets a dangerous precedent.
The judge’s order does not guarantee a lung for Sarah.
“We are beyond thrilled,” Janet Murnaghan, the girl’s mother, told the Associated Press. “Obviously we still need a match.”
Some medical analysts say the judge’s intervention creates a dangerous precedent for others on organ transplant lists.
