Yes I agree, a movie would be wrong. Only because we know it would be for profit.
Here's some new interesting facts I just found:
Relatives have said her family paid a smuggler to bring them from their small town near Guadalajara, Mexico, to the United States so she could get medical care. She spent three years on a transplant waiting list before her first surgery.
Both sets of organs were donated through the United Network for Organ Sharing, a national group that helps connect donors and potential transplant patients.
Hospitals may place non-U.S. citizens on their transplant waiting lists and must give them the same priority level as citizens, but can perform no more than 5 percent of their transplants on non-citizens, said group spokeswoman Anne Paschke.
"Yesterday after the transplant, we were all very hopeful," said Dr. Karen Frush, Duke University Hospital's medical director of children's services. But now, "the swelling in her brain is severe, severe to the point we fear it's irreversible."
This seems very thoughful,
"Hospitals may place non-U.S. citizens on their transplant waiting lists and must give them the same priority level as citizens" I'm happy to see this, because one life is as good as another. Although, it's sad the ending don't look good at this point.
