Selkirk said she and Allan are both discussing a legal challenge to the liver transplant guidelines for those with alcohol use disorder “with people who have their own living donor.” “It's not fair and it's not right, and hopefully we'll change that policy,” Selkirk said.
Even if her partner could donate his own liver, it should still go to a better recipient. If anything he should be donating anyways to honor her and save a life
You (or the committee of doctors) don't decide who is a better recipient for my goddamn organs. You can make whatever the fuck ethical decision you want when I'm dead, but not until then. And I've gotta say, it's shit like this - treating patients & donors like you know better - that make me not want to be a donor anymore. If I wanna donate my lungs to Hitler because he's my grandpa and I love him, that's not something you get to have a decision on.
How has Polievre not tried to capitalize on this tragedy to pitch his "your bank is a better death panel than the transplant math" plan yet? American healthcare is half his platform!
