Are alcoholics less deserving of liver transplants?

Daniel Brudney1.   

Abstract

When does behavior trigger a lesser claim to medical resources? When does chronic drinking, for example, mean that one has a lesser claim to a liver transplant? Only when one's behavior becomes a callous indifference to others' needs--when one knows the consequences of heavy drinking and knows that by drinking one may end up depriving someone else of a liver.
