A less sinister take (but just as unfortunate) on the poor soul in your example of the guy with the 10% chance to live might be that the doctor looks at the odds and sees a person with a 10% chance of survival or someone with a 50% chance of survival if he gets the transplant. It would be awful tempting to go with the odds...

despite this , I've signed up to be a donor. It is the practical German Lutheran Hoosier in me - if they're not doing me any good any more I might as well let someone have them who can get some use out of them.
