Yep, not enough organs to go around. Some people are doomed to die waiting. It's right out of a philosophy textbook.

You're escaping from a burning building, the stairs are about to collapse. Do you assist the elderly smoker or the teenager? The pregnant woman or the father?

Classic. In this case do you save the entitled woman demanding an organ who refuses to follow medical advice, or the next person waiting?
