Sarah Murnaghan died due to a death panel refusing to give an under-12 girl a lung transplant. | Sarah Murnaghan (2013) wanted a lung transplant, and the death panel called United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), wouldn't make an exception to their "under-12" policy to give her the life saving treatment. Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services refused to intervene to grant an exception to the rule. |
