Sarah Murnaghan, the Newtown Square girl has been hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for three months with end-stage cystic fibrosis, and is on a ventilator.

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius says she doesn't want to intervene in transplant decisions about a dying Pennsylvania girl.  

Rep. Lou Barletta  went to bat for little Sarah Murnaghan.  "I'm begging you. ... She has three to five weeks to live. Please suspend the rules," Rep. Barletta, urged Sebelius at a House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing on her department's budget.

Sebelius conceded that the case was an "incredibly agonizing situation, but said that many complex factors go into the transplant-list formula.

*************************************************

Sure they do, sure ha ha, 'complex factors'...(snort)...unless the family of that child is important, rich, famous, or a powerful criminal like Cheney, the child will die.

Uh-huh, no transplant for this dying little girl but old man (war criminal) Cheney had no trouble demanding to be placed #1 on the heart transplant waiting list...at 71 yet.

The ethical issues are not that he had a transplant, but someone who DIDN'T have a transplant and died as a result because Cheney was placed #1 on the waiting list while hundreds of other critically ill people were denied the heart this bastard stole.

/agreed asshat politicians come in all flavors

I just wonder how much longer we're gonna let these self centered TYRANICAL bastards run our government. That's why they want our guns, they would have absolutely nothing to worry about and the screwing we're getting would go up many times over. When the computer voting starts, its all over. There will be no democracy.

You're right Star. These assholes we put in office promise us one thing and then do the exact oposite. Everyone knows the Supreme Court elected Bush. They've had years to balance a budget but they cant. They swear an oath to uphold the Constitution all the time trying to do away with the 2nd and 4th amendments. They should be locked up for treason.

What, y'all don't like living in East Germany?

And to think, all the American blood spilled since 1930 something (Spanish Civil War) to make the world safe for Marxism...

You want it to change? Make everybody show up at the polling place with last year's tax document AND either a high school diploma or a DD214 if they are not active duty. If you weren't willing to lay your life on the line for it, you can not dictate what this country becomes. If you couldn't finish school, well, that's why we still have states with gas jockeys (can't pump your own)...

Want to be a politician? Show us your discharge papers or stay home.

You are correct.
