  • Now 6 people that only needed one organ each will die..

  • Why can't everyone just be happy that this little girl has a second chance at life? How can anyone dislike this video when it is saying that a little girl survived something that would have killed her?

  • It's just an overhaul. No problem we've all got that kind of insurance coverage..

  • I must say I am appalled and disgusted in some of these comments! Here is hoping that none of your children never need a transplant! Who cares if you are white black or purple this little girl gets a second chance at life now! It's a miracle no matter how you look at it.

  • @Zamara00 The problem is, this girl is facing huge risk factors. She's taking around 18 pills a day, just so her body doesn't reject the organs. Her immune system is seriously deprived. Not only that, there's a likely chance her cancer will return and take over again. She could very likely die in the next few years. Those 6 organs could of saved children who would of had a much better shot at life. Im not saying it's right or wrong, im just explaining.

  • is this a true story or an advertisement for organ donation? there are cases of people's live's coming to an end for their organs, when they may not be terminal.

  • God bless... Hope she has a quick recovery!

  • @IamYoddle LOL. I like the way you think.

  • @IamYoddle LOL. I like the way you think.

  • @IamYoddle ah, ok.

    Well, if medical science wasn't hindered by the pseudoscience of the religious right... I can't begin to imagine how medical science might advance.

  • 9 year old, have 6 new organs, can we call it 69 ?
