Who wold you give a liver transplant to out of a 40yo alcoholic mother of two, a 3yo with a congenital liver abnormality, or an elderly gentleman with chronic liver failure?

Need to base decision purely scientifically- cannot pass judgement on the mother who is an alcoholic for example, as it is your job as a doctor to be completely unjudgemental and treat everyone the same. Base decision off match and who has the least chance of rejection via tissue and blood typing. Consider urgency of each patient. Make decision in a multidisciplinary team.
