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.
We punish substance use and mental health so harshly in this country
It’s not punishment, any chronic illness will make someone ineligible for an organ transplant. It’s not saying it’s that person’s fault, it’s a situation of “2 people need this organ, which ever you choose the other will die in agony, one is more likely to live twice as long as the other.”

He was only offering the organ to the one person though
What does your second paragraph have to do with that?
