[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those over a 70, I believe, cannot be put on transplant list. Maybe one of them is a scientist and on the brink of making a discovery of earth shattering importance. If there is someone who want to be a donor specifically for that person, they can. Ergo, if age discrimination is acceptable then intelligence and quality of life should also be a factor in determining who gets the transplant.[/quote] Actually AMA rules prohibit giving organs to people because of their special contribution to society. What you are making is a "social worth" argument, that one person should get an organ because they are worth more than another person to society. This is unethical and disallowed.[/quote]
