Be'liver' or Not?

Just getting to this now, Bill, thanks. What do you think about it?

It's a toughy. Especially in this girl's case as she was brought here illegally as a young child. Not her fault or crime. $490,000 a pop for a liver? And she's gotten four so far? I had no idea livers are so chintzy.

More importantly, here, should the legal status of a person be a determinant in prioritizing recipients of organ transplants? How about prisoners? Should a teacher get one before a heroin addict? A rapist before a murderer?

Sheesh. This is waaaay too much to think about on an empty stomach. Lunch time.
