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

Unless you're talking about the boyfriend's liver, in which case the doctor determined her condition would not survive a partial transplant, and the attempt would just kill her sooner.

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".
