Judge's order makes Sarah Murnaghan, who has end-stage cystic fibrosis and just weeks to live, eligible for an adult lung.

A federal judge Wednesday ordered that a dying 10-year-old suburban Philadelphia girl be placed temporarily on an adult transplant list for a new lung.
Sarah Murnaghan, of Newtown Square, has end-stage cystic fibrosis and just weeks to live, doctors say. But organ-transplant rules say children under age 12 must wait for lungs from young donors, which happens infrequently.
U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson issued a temporarily restraining order because of the severity of her illness, ruling she could be placed on the list until at least June 14, when a court hearing is scheduled.
"We are thrilled for Sarah," her mother, Janet, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We are now looking at a 75% chance of her getting new lungs in the next two weeks.
"This is a little victory," she added. "We want this for all kids."
The national organ-transplant network is to hold an emergency review Monday, U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said in a statement.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Tuesday refused to intervene in the lawsuit brought by Sarah's parents, saying that medical experts should make transplant decisions. She noted that three other children in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are also gravely ill.
Sarah has been at the hospital for three months. Her family set up a Facebook pageseeking a donated organ.
Toomey applauded the judge's ruling.
"Now Sarah has a chance for a lung transplant, and I plan to keep fighting for her and others who deserve to be eligible," he said. "As I've said all along, Secretary Sebelius should use her authorities to make medical need and suitability, rather than age, be the primary criteria in determining how organ donations are prioritized. I hope this court ruling will encourage her to make this important policy change."
