I Think It's a Limitation of the Medical Profession
We are not likely to transplant organs into people who have very limited life expectancy after organ transplant. We clearly think very carefully about inten of care, or aggressive measures for people who are at the end of life. There is a chance that something would work, but we're balancing society needs costs of care with the likelihood that they would benefit. So it's not like these sort of trade offs don't happen all over the place in clinical medicine, but for some reason, in this area, they're walled off. And i think it's a limitation.
