PITTSBURGH (AP) — The national organization that manages organ transplants rejected making emergency rule changes Monday for children under 12 who are waiting on lungs, but created a special appeal and review system

held a teleconference to consider children who seek to qualify for
adult lungs, and many members voiced serious ethical and medical
concerns about a recent federal judge’s ruling that questioned the
existing system.
