A 10-year-old girl who needs a lung transplant to survive will be considered a candidate for an adult organ under a temporary court order overturning a U.S. decision to deny her an exemption to transplant guidelines.

U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson in Philadelphia today issued a temporary restraining order allowing Sarah Murnaghan to be considered for a transplant from an adult donor after her family sued the government.
