Document Summary

If the pieces are right glannon thinks that alcoholics (if they voluntarily fail to exercise control) should be lower on the list vs. those who have control over their decisions, but got the disease anyways. Alcoholics are much more likely to ruin the liver due to high risks of relapse (not the argument that he is concerned with) Addiction is difficult but certain things matter in making a decision towards who gets a liver. Glannon is not imposing a policy more things needed. What treatment you deserve is a function of how responsible you are for the disease that you have. How responsible you are is a function of the amount of control that you have. You can build habit mechanisms in your brain. Two challenges to the moral argument fail. It is possible for an alcoholic to deserve lower priority for a liver transplant than a non- alcoholic based on a moral evaluation of their responsibility for their condition.
