Questions are being raised about the case of a 36-year-old Ontario woman who died of liver failure after she was rejected for a life-saving liver transplant after a medical review highlighted her prior alcohol use.
I totally understand the mortality aspect, I was just thinking if a patient is 100% going to die from liver failure without a transplant, any chance to live from a live donor seems worth it. Of course I don’t know any statistics so I have nothing to base it on.
Maybe euthanasia should be a legal option instead of a slow agonizing death that puts next of kin into medical debt.
