The Issue of Liver Transplants for Patients with Alcholism - Conservative, Liberal, and Utilitarian Views
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses whether or not recovering alcoholics should be denied access to liver transplants due to their previous lifestyles. The number of people with liver disease and other related conditions who could significantly benefit from a liver transplant is far greater than the number of donor livers available. This means that criteria, other than medical, need to be developed to allocate donor livers to potential recipients. The writer examines the issue from the viewpoint of a political conservative, a political liberal, and within the framework of Jeremy Bentham's doctrine of utilitarianism.
