    You’re less likely to get a transplant if you’re more likely to ruin it based on your lifestyle.

      Well a hospital in the US didn’t seem to think so. I suppose that’s one of the benefits of a less centralized system.

            Yeah but throwing an organ away with someone that will die anyway refusing treatment just because they paid or because your system is incapable of transporting organs to better suited donors is not exactly a “benefit”.
