Girl Refuses Heart Transplant
I was shocked when I heard that there was a girl who didn’t want a heart transplant. Hannah Jones, 13, from Brittan is the girl who has refused to let her hospital give her a heart transplant. The media and doctors from all over are so confused to see someone who wouldn’t want an opportunity to treat an illness. Hannah was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 4 years old and now the doctors have discovered that she has a heart defect. Hannah doesn’t want to spend any more time in the hospital then she already has. Doctors threatened to come and get Hannah from her house since her parents refused to take her in for the operation but since Hannah must have parental consent they didn’t come. Also Hannah has the right to say no to the doctors because she has enough knowledge of the outcomes she could face. If I were Hannah I would have gotten the heart transplant because I feel that if I did have the opportunity I would be able to stay alive for longer and not have to worry as much.

That's really sad well I understand she's really annoyed being at the hospital for so many times.
