Ethics - perceived rights or wrongs.

• Alcohol abusers– Liver disease

• Drug users– Blood infections - Hepatitis

• Clinically obese– Heart transplants– What caused the need in the first place?– Can they turn over a new leaf?


Ethical decisions are hard

• Different people have different standards.

• Is alcohol addiction someone’s fault?

• Should 2nd chances be given?

• How do you value one life over another?


Who’s likely to need a heart transplant?

• While you’re thinking… have a look at this..

• The cardiovascular system - heart and lung transplants.
