Excuse me, but why should a guy who drank himself to death and destroyed his liver by binge drinking be given preferential treatment over someone who has liver disease through no fault of their own? The problem is that there are just so many livers out there available and this man should not be allowed the privilege to gain another liver before someone else who didn’t drink. Also, who’s to say he wouldn’t destroy this new transplanted liver if he didn’t change his behavior?
It sounded like the article was saying this drinker was a victim of socialized medicine.
