Who earns a new life?
by Steve Price

  ...

"That though is not my reason for questioning the wisdom of giving a 67-year-old self-confessed former alcoholic a brand new liver.

I just think some balance is needed in all the glorification of his survival and a discussion is required about who gets that rare second chance at life."
