just did it again. a second child with cystic fibrosis, 11-year-old javier acosta gets a new chance at adult lungs, too, and huge advantage when you consider that the vast majority of lung donations comes from adults, but the ruling raises huge questions of policy separating the child andç the adult donor list, and the argument is that it was put there for a reason, a good medical reason. joining me from pennsylvania isstein harvey, the attorney representing both of the young transplant hopefuls. arthur caplan is a bioethicist, and good morning, gentlemen. good morning. your first victory came when the judge ruled that sarah moynihan should be put on the adult list and the same for javier, but monday, the board overseeing transplant will consider change, and was that your change? well, my hope was to get

the congress or on the media. i think that you want to get the scientific evidence there about survival and have that done in the medical setting by medical people. ç which is exactly, steven, what kathleen sebelius s argument was and i know that you are aware that the medical reasons are that adult lungs won t fit children, and that the operation is obviously an intensive one given the difference of the size of lungs and that adults fare better than children, and also the issue of an adult who stays on the list and who will not get that lung that went to the child instead and arguably he or she may have a better chance of survival. why do you think that your arguments trump those? you put a lot out there, and there is a compelling overwhelming response to every single one of them. first the judge balson did not suggest that he made a decision on the merits that the judge s decision is arbitrary and
