Her partner is the one saying she had an alcohol substance use issue. It's not "assumed" she was a drunkard, he stated it. I agree she should have been given the liver- she quit alcohol, she had a donor. We shouldn't punish people with alcohol use issues by killing them.
The liver wasn't thrown away, it was given to someone else. The liver still saved a life, unfortunately it wasn't hers.
Unless you're talking about the boyfriend's liver, in which case the doctor determined her condition would not survive a partial transplant, and the attempt would just kill her sooner.
I was talking about the general disturbing nature of determining organ transplants, yes I know re: the live donation from her bf
So again: The liver wasn't thrown away, it was given to someone else. The liver still saved a life, unfortunately it wasn't hers.
Imagine being the person denied a liver because they gave it to someone with a chronic alcohol abuse problem to "give them another chance".
No I meant her boyfriend had a partial liver he wanted to give her
Which is it?
