Debate for school Options

[concreteangel]

I have a debate that is due this Friday.
The debate is about whether or not someone should get a kidney transplant or not. One side is if it is a birth defect and the other side is if they are a drinker and need a transplant. My group is on the side of the transplant for the birth defect. I've searched and searched and cant find diddly squat to help me with this situation.
So that is why I'm asking you to tell me what your views on each side.
What side would you choose and why?

^ But still, who's to say you're dad wont have medical problems in the future, as a result of drinking in the past? That's good that he's turned his life around, but he still could pay the price later on.

Oh and sadolakced acid is right, drinking causes liver problems... not kidney damage. But either way, just because a person has put themself in a situation doesnt mean they intentionally put themself there knowing for sure that one day they would have some type of disease because of it. [/woah major run on]

If a child needs an organ due to a birth defect but has several months to live... and an adult who smoke/drank/whatever making themself need the same organ, and only has a few weeks to live - I'd let the child wait for another organ and give it to the adult. But if both the child and the adult had the same amount of time left, then the child definitely deserves the organ. Even if they both needed one as a result of having a birth defect, the child should still come first.
