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 was talking about the general disturbing nature of determining organ transplants, yes I know re: the live donation from her bf

      So again: The liver wasn’t thrown away, it was given to someone else. The liver still saved a life, unfortunately it wasn’t hers.

      Imagine being the person denied a liver because they gave it to someone with a chronic alcohol abuse problem to “give them another chance”.

          No I meant her boyfriend had a partial liver he wanted to give her

          Which is it?
