An Airline Company called Rayanair didn't attend a family who needed to catch a flight immediately for health reasons. A ten years old boy who lives in the Canary Islands was on the list for getting a liver and kidney implants. When the hospital of Madrid called the family to say that the organs were available and that the surgery should take place as quick as possible, they rushed to the airport. Once they were there, the family tried to book a place for the child but, as the agents of Rayanair said, they were too close of the departure time and there's a rule of not to let anyone catch the plane if it's that close to the time. The family had to wait more than an hour to be able to take another plane (no from Rayanair's Compay). Although the boy's situation is unknown, some people speculate that perhaps he was not able to have the implant on time.

In my opinion, not allowing someone to take a plane which could save his/her life it's a clear violation of the Human Rights. To deny someone this help just because it's not in the rules, when it's a matter of living or not living, it's a crime. By doing that you don't respect the human right of Social Security (#22) because each Nation, and even in an International level, we should have to take an effort to protect lives, and the right of Responsability (#29).
