That's his choice, it's _his_ cancer after all
> I don't think that excuses all of the horrible things he did as a human
I think this is a bit of a leap. He's done some bad things sure, but the only ones you mentioned were...working on a yacht, using alternative medicine and getting a liver transplant
- bdcravens 1y ago> That's his choice, it's _his_ cancer after all While you're right, freedom of choice implies acceptance of risk and consequence. Leveraging wealth to jump the line, and presumably taking a liver from someone who could have used it, seems like the opposite of that. A similar example from recent years is those who rejected all medical advise regarding COVID, and were still entitled to a hospital bed and respirator when it didn't work out for them.
