This is not newsworthy as the medical community has always prioritized potential organ recipients by behavioral risk. Heavy drinkers are at the bottom of the list for a liver transplant and smokers are highly unlikely to receive a lung transplant. Refusing to be vaccinated in a deadly pandemic is a behavior that often results in death, plus the requirement to take immunosuppressants would seem to be factors in the decision.

""The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living..."

Exactly.

I hope some folks lose their medical license

Maybe they should give him one of those pig hearts. It would barely be and interspecies procedure.
