[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1071933, member: 72205"] Yup absolutely, Shared it before but my mother wasn't even allowed to go on the bottom of transplant list for a new liver due to it failing for alcohol abuse and her making no measures to improve her lifestyle. This being the first time she ever presented to a doctor with alcohol related illness made this caveat a bit cruel and was bought about by tabloid stories of people getting transplants that didn't deserve it due to the fact they continued abuse afterwards (George Best being a primary target). Reality is she presented and died in a little over a month and would of struggled in any reality of getting a transplant in time. I've no issue with the concept of lists and placing people on that list and prioritising them based on medical criteria need, chances of survival, lifestyle. I do have an issue with people not being allowed to be placed on that list at all. [/QUOTE]
