i agree with your comment about george best....tho i'd go a bit further. best only got his transplant cos he was famous and had the money. with people dying while waiting for organ transplants, i think it was very wrong that he should have had the transplant, as he had not even recovered from his alcoholism. and as the outcome has proved - even with the transplant his life was short, and he abused the donation by carrying on drinking. i know that it is very hard to given up an addiction, but were all protocols followed he should not have had the donation. besides, he might have had a better quality of life if he had not had the transplant, with all the immunesuppression and side effects that go with it.
