In response to "Late night discussion: Should a patient who screwed up his/her liver by excessive drinking be give a new liver via transplant? " by James Bond (aka Igor)

because of possible consequences if alcohol is used with a new liver, I think there has to be some kind of parameter.

the potential recipient has to have been sober for some period of time and possibly in a program for continuing that. otherwise, sure.

not everyone else who needs a liver got there through no fault of their own.
