Liver Transplant Controversy | Healthmad

A controversy is going on between doctors about the necessity of alcoholics remaining sober for six months before a liver transplant. Some doctors think it’s unfair to make a patient wait six months rather than preforming a transplant when an organ is available. Others say if the patient can’t remain sober for six months, they wont remain sober after the surgery, and a valuable organ will be wasted.
