I was talking about the general disturbing nature of determining organ transplants, yes I know re: the live donation from her bf
No I meant her boyfriend had a partial liver he wanted to give her
Which is it?

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”.
Which was determined to be unlikely to be successful given her condition, so she would have just died in the attempt.

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.
We punish substance use and mental health so harshly in this country
It’s not punishment, any chronic illness will make someone ineligible for an organ transplant. It’s not saying it’s that person’s fault, it’s a situation of “2 people need this organ, which ever you choose the other will die in agony, one is more likely to live twice as long as the other.”
And I’m free to eat a bag of chips whenever I want.
Move to the states, let me know how that goes for you.
Being a judgmental asshole increases your likelihood of being assaulted. I shouldn’t have to pay your medical bills when you get punched in the face by a stranger.

I don’t care if you’ve gotten enough exercise, you would be healthier if you were walking around the block right now instead of sitting inside on the internet. Since my taxes pay for your medical bills I get to tell you how to live your life, so get walking!
Right now you’re on the internet instead of being physically active, that’s a health risk.
Of him being concerned about hate speech laws? It’s in the link.
What does your second paragraph have to do with that?
