Irrespective of the concerns regarding quality of life, which may have merit (although I would argue we know far too little about her actual prognosis to comment), the notion that her mental condition should even have been considered as a criterion for transplant is beyond the pale. That should not even enter into the equation, frankly, and on that basis I'm not surprised they reacted as they did. On that basis, I find myself questioning why the doctor raised it in the first place and it does leave a fair amount of explaining to be done.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
