According to me, the system should make allowances for “real heroes”. This is because people love them, people admire them, people are emotionaly connected with their favorite heroes. One cannot deny the fact that every human life is equally important and no one hold the right to live on someone's death. But at the same time, it is also true that the life of a big celebrity or a national hero like Mickey Mantle who has done a lot for the people and for the country will be considered more important than the life of a homeless beggar.
Some ethicists argue that patients with alcohol-related end-stage liver disease (ARESLD) should not be considered for a liver transplant due to the poor results and limited long-term survival. Others argue that since alcoholism is a disease, these patients should be considered for a transplant. In my opinion, every human on the earth has the right to live. However, those people who actually care about the importance of life must be given preference when compared to those who take it lightly. In other words, a person with a problem of alcoholism knows that alcohol is bad for their health but still chooses it and gets trapped in ARESLD and then regrets. They could have easily avoided the situation if they had a little more value of life. On the other hand there are so many people in the world who don't have such bad habits and value their life more. They must be given preference during organ transplant decision making.
