Are alcoholics less deserving of liver transplants?
Hastings Center Report 37 (1):41-47 (2007)
Abstract
When does behavior trigger a lesser claim to medical resources? When does chronic drinking, for example, mean that one has a lesser claim to a liver transplant? Only when one's behavior becomes a callous indifference to others' needs—when one knows the consequences of heavy drinking and knows that by drinking one may end up depriving someone else of a liver.Author's Profile
