Hello
Another subject I want to bring in the EOF, a subject i heard this morning at an open mic radio show
Should an alcoholic (still active) be allowed to receive a liver transplant?
Here's the context, the guy is (was) still drinking and now he's on the verge of death because of a liver disfunction.
Personally, I wouldn't
Not because "that'll teach him a lesson" because if he dies, then there's no lesson learned.
What I mean is that organs good enough for transplant are rare, and I'd either give it to someone who has chances to make that liver live longer
Which wouldn't happen with a still active alcoholic who would destroy that liver within very few years
OR, I'd give it to a FORMER alcoholic. I know that alcoholism is a life-long disease, so when I say former alcoholic, i mean an alcoholic who managed to not drink any alcohol for a certain period (6 months or so)
What do you say?
