Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a congressional panel Tuesday that medical experts should make those decisions.
However, relatives of 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan said Sebelius' remarks confused them because they want a policy change for all pre-adolescent children awaiting lung transplants, not just Sarah.
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. Her family wants children younger than 12 to be eligible for adult lungs because so few pediatric lungs are available.

This is so tragic and my heart breaks for the precious child and her family. May GOD be with all of you and may HE keep watch over you.
Once again, Sebelius has proven totally worthless. Had this been a personal friend of hers or obama's, you better believe she would have done everything including flying a special plane with the donated organs to the hospital. If anything happens to this child when she could have helped, GOD will not allow her to have favor. Hell will be too good for her.
Anyone remember this quote from Obama when they were trying to take away guns?
IF WE CAN SAVE ONE CHILD 'WE SHOULD TAKE THAT STEP'. I guess that only applies some of the time.
The secretary is great dictating policy, but when the hard questions and decisions need to be made, she wimps out saying one person can make the decision who lives or dies!!!! This is needless suffering for this dear child. To me, this is failure of her oath of office and doing her duty.
So then there are death panels.
