Yep, I read a whole article about the “ ethics” of who gets chosen given


the dearth of organs available. Of course the author had to bring up that white males were selected much more frequently and that it was racist, etc, etc.

In this case the man was on deaths door and he gave consent to do this trial. It was his only chance. So for him, every day is a miracle. Article pointed out that his denial was for “ medical non- compliance” but didn’t elaborate. Didn’t take meds, didn’t quit smoking, alcohol, etc. who knows? Maybe wasn’t best candidate but ethically maybe only one around!
