[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] However, we do not allow transplant priorities to be based on being a productive member of society. The result is that multimillionaire businessmen would get the kidneys over working class people, and college graduates would rank above the underprivileged because of their statistical earning expectations. The medical profession does not allow "social worth" arguments.[/quote] I believe that the rich and famous pretty much get what they want. Wasn't there a professional athlete in the last 10 years or so who got one transplant to replace an organ he had destroyed through bad behavior (drinking/ drugs), and then got ANOTHER one a few years later for the same reason? I wish I could remember this story, and wikipedia is blacked out today. [/quote] It was Mickey Mantle former New York Yankee.[/quote]
