” They are not going to give an organ to a person who will probably reject it, even if they are younger or have been waiting longer.”

OK..makes sense, if they can figure the person will reject it, it doesn’t make sense to waste it.

What do you think of the concerns about people with HepC,alcholics...etc. Should they be denied organs because of their lifestyle choices? Does that figure into the process now?
And if it does - how did Larry Hagman and Micky Mantle get livers?

My wife is the person I would need to ask. But if they were on the list and there was not a better recipient I am sure they would be a candidate. Why waste the organ just because the recipient does not live to the same moral grounds as others.
