The post you are reporting:
All sorts of organs are in short supply, not just livers, but kidneys, hearts, pancreases, in fact anything that can be transplanted, is in short supply.
The Government had a free vote two or three years ago on changing whether people should opt in or out of organ donation and very sadly, the majority of MPs voted to keep the status quo (no not the Francis Rossi kind).
It's very difficult to say that this young person didn't deserve a new chance in life with a new liver, but it would be very doubtful if he would have changed his life-style, even if his life did depend on it - as it did with Georgie Best.
To my mind, once the person has died, any part of the dead body should be used for transplantation - eyes, skin, limbs, organs whatever.
A dead body is a waste, if not used to benefit someone.
What a wonderful gift - to give life to someone, when someone close to you, has passed away.
Some can do it, some do do it, but I'm sure it's not easy, but so worthwhile.
