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?

^ I get what you're saying. But when you go through the drive thru at Mcdonalds, do you think about possibly becoming addicted to food and eventually becoming obese? I think drinking is the same way. Most people when they start drinking, they think they are tough enough to not get addicted. I think drugs is a totally different story, but as far as drinking and smoking goes - I think the people realize what COULD happen to them in the end (if they do become addicted), but dont think they'll actually make it to that point. Anyways, not every person who drinks/smokes has major health problems because of it. I have a great grandmother who just recently died of old age at 93, and she was a heavy smoker for almost 50 years. She never had any heath problems. But then again, some people can smoke for just a couple of years and die from lung cancer.
