: : : : Who should recieve the liver transplant and why?
: : : I think the 44 year old should get the transplant. The fact that she is a physician is irrelevant. I think the fact that she is healthy and has two children that will be left orphaned if she dies is a major factor.
: : I agree that she is a physician is irrelevant, but I approached from her community work.
: I agree that that is an important factor but the donation from the 70 year old's family will also benefit the community and the teacher provides a benefit to the community as well. So I looked at the children and the health of the individual as well.
The difference from the 70 year old and the physician is that she has been giving to the community without expected payment. The other family is trying to bribe the community. I don't remember the teacher.
