# To be honest
I'm all for people who chose not to give up fags/booze/drugs not getting first dibs.

There was a thing on dutch TV last year about a little girl and a 40 odd year old alcoholic, both needing a new liver, and the premise of the show was deciding who got it. It was more a publicity effort to make people think about donating, but if it was a decision I had to make, there wouldn't be one. Little girl gets it, no questions asked. Unless the dying alky is curing cancer or something...

Would tha alcy host a party after getting the liver, im pretty sure that would be a party to be at.

# true.
not if he did a George Best...In what way does being good at something ultimately pointless like football, entitle you to life while other more worthy people die?

# I'm just saying
football is essentially pointless. As are most things, really.

Being good at football doesn't entitle you to be a dick, and fuck up not one, but two livers. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but he brought it on himself.

# I can't deny that it's careless behaviour
given the finite supply of livers.

# well
most of them belong to people already.

# but by your logic
being a child doesn't 'entitle' you to a liver either.

If it was two children needing a liver, I agree the decision would be harder, because with 1 child and a 40 yr old alcy then its a no-contest (although I assume we all agree it shouldn't be a 'contest' in the first place).

I say get them to fight it out. I mean, the alcy will have the weight behind his punches, but balance will be an issue.

# I hate this debate about who's 'entitled' to treatment
Where do you draw the line?

Smokers and drinkers are an easy target.
People who eat shit food?
People who play sport or exercise?
Stupid people who do stupid things?

You make a case that just about everyone has done something that makes them 'unentitled' to treatment.

# I am
entitled to treatment, because I think I am important enough.

Just give me all the livers, ill keep them in storage.

(On a serious note though, yes I agree, entitlement cannot be judged on how 'bad' you treated yourself. If we all lived life thinking that then there would be no life to live, however someone like best who KNEW what happens, well, I can't have much sympathy for him I am afraid').

# It's a cold hard fact that, although children are as human as anybody else, few of them are likely to do great work for humanity in the next five years of their lives.
So I think the 40-year-old has the edge in this meritocracy actually.

# You're right that some people are more valuable than other, but it would be terrible to have anybody in charge of deciding that.
How about simply giving the organs to the people who can afford to pay the most? As a rule of thumb, those are usually the best people. Also, they'd be giving lots of money to hospitals as a result.

# I'm not sure.
I'm musing about free and equal health care at the moment, having read something in the Times that left me unsure of my arguments.

# with the little girl and the wino
it was more of a clear cut case I suppose, than if you had two similar cases. And thats without taking into account compatability and all that.

She has nothing to do with her illness, cruel twist of fate. He on the other hand, knew the risks, and went ahead anyway.

But I agree, such issues are complicated

# There are some outstandingly great moral dilemmas based around organ transplants.
For instance, what is it that's wrong about killing somebody in order to donate all their body parts to other individuals who would otherwise quickly die? The principle of ownership of one's own body parts, that's what. Which would seem to suggest that you can (morally) fuck up as many livers as you like without being refused new ones.
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Thu 17 Jan 2008, 9:48, archived)
# SO
If by killing one person you could save 4 others, 2 people get kidneys, 1 a liver, 1 heart lung, then we should kill off people even if they are fine as 3 other lives will be saved.

# Better still
would be to have a liver lottery ona wednesday night. We can line up some C list celebrities to start up Lancelot and away they go. Livers slopping around inside, until a platform rises up, pulling with it a spray painted liver with a number on. Then voiceover man can talk about who its going too whilst the organ people put it in their picnic box and whisk it away to Dudley*.

*Dudley is an example, if this idea comes to fruition and someone from Dudley DOES win then it is entirely coincidental.
