Who deserves the gift of life? These are five patients who are worthy of having this heart transplant. This has been one of the toughest decisions in my career as a doctor, but I have made a choice. I’ve decided that Helen is the best candidate for this surgery. I feel this way partly because, her kids are at a stage in their life where they need their mothers care and the others aren’t good choices for a few reasons. But this is not the main reason for my choice. Above all, I am choosing Helen because she has the best chance to survive the operation and do well. Helen has had a very difficult life so far. She is on financial assistance and unemployed, however she is still the best candidate for this operation. I feel that she will have the best chance of surviving this operation. I feel that her kids will motivate her to make it through this ordeal. However the main argument for choosing her is simply, that she has the best chance of living. In our field, this is the single most important factor. Now you may ask, why didn’t the other four make the cut? The first patient, Jonas Kasperak isn’t a good choice because he is fifty five years old which lowers his chance of survival after surgery and he is a steel worker which makes him a liability. Elena Rodriguez our second patient isn’t a good choice because she can afford to go to another place considering that she is the first soprano at the Los Angeles Opera House. Carlos Wahnon our third patient isn’t a good choice because he is the son of a politician so his father can afford to send him to another hospital and he is too young to have had a meaningful grasp of life. Finally our fourth patient Lincoln Bradely is a bad choice because he is sixty five years old which means his chance of surviving the operation are very thin. However, it’s not fair to decide who has the right to live. Even though Helen is the best choice, she still might die and there goes a wasted heart that
