Rejected petition Change that children are denied organ transplant because they have Down Syndrome

Many many parents with children who have Down Syndrome are told that their children won’t be put on the transplant list just because they have Down Syndrome!
We want this changed so that each child is assessed on an individual basis. Our children’s lives matter just as much as any other child.
