    The liver wasn’t thrown away, it was given to someone else. The liver still saved a life, unfortunately it wasn’t hers.

    Unless you’re talking about the boyfriend’s liver, in which case the doctor determined her condition would not survive a partial transplant, and the attempt would just kill her sooner.

        So again: The liver wasn’t thrown away, it was given to someone else. The liver still saved a life, unfortunately it wasn’t hers.

        Imagine being the person denied a liver because they gave it to someone with a chronic alcohol abuse problem to “give them another chance”.

            No I meant her boyfriend had a partial liver he wanted to give her
