If you were in the wilderness with only 1 dose of Narcan and you had to choose between administering it to a drug addict dying from a bender, or their 8 year old that accidentally got into what was causing their parent to OD who would you give the single dose to? That is the kind of decision being made here.

    Yep, not enough organs to go around. Some people are doomed to die waiting. It's right out of a philosophy textbook.

    You're escaping from a burning building, the stairs are about to collapse. Do you assist the elderly smoker or the teenager? The pregnant woman or the father?

    Classic. In this case do you save the entitled woman demanding an organ who refuses to follow medical advice, or the next person waiting?
