Sarah Palin - Talking Stupid again.

 The rules about which Palin complains were created as a result of the Organ Transplant Act of 1984. That act was passed as a result of problems that arose because as medical technology developed to make organ transplantation feasible, there became a shortage of human organs to meet the demand. People had begun selling organs, and paying commissions of as much as $50,000 to the people who procured the organs.
-The rules governing transplants were developed during the Reagan Presidency.  The Obama administration has nothing to do with the case of this little girl.  Sarah Palin is using a tragic situation for her typical bashing of President Obama.  There is no attempt to help solve a problem of too few organs available to too many who need organs.  Sounds like Sarah wants to decide which person (people) get the limited organ(s).  Her complaint as VP wanna be was that Govment was getting into too much stuff.  Now Sarah is complaining that Govment is not telling folks to give this girl a lung instead of giving it to an adult. (Govement interference is Govment interference Sarah.)

Thus the gut-wrenching reality is that children die from Cystic Fibrosis every day. Even those who have undergone a lung transplant will die of the disease. Because there are not enough organs for transplant, the inevitable result is that decisions must be made by someone about who is the most likely to get the greatest benefit from a transplanted organ. It is an extremely complex and agonizing decision for anyone to make. Every doctor would recommend saving each of his/her patients, but not enough organs are available. Somehow the decision of who gets an organ must be made by someone other than the treating physician.
