Who should have the kidney transplantation? Argue for patient Al should receive the kidney using the applicable theories and principles, and describe any economic issues described in the reading, which may help or hinder your candidate from receiving the kidney you believe he deserves. Scenario: Al, a reformed alcoholic, is 42 years old with failing kidneys. He has been having hemodialysis 3 days/week for 3 years. He has had to deal with 5 failed accesses; is about to lose his recently revised access. Without kidney transplantation, he will die within the year. He is a father of 3 children, unemployed, and on welfare (Medi-Cal). Sam, a well-known and respected Neurosurgeon, is a 50 year old with failing kidneys, as well. Unlike Al, Sam currently drinks in excess (some might label him as an alcoholic). Sam is single, gainfully employed and is loved by his colleagues and friends. Which of these 2 men should get a kidney transplant should a kidney with the same blood and tissue type become available and they both match? I just need the arguments using ethical theories and principles; and biblical relevance (with biblical verse/s) and Christian faith integration, No need for intro and conclusion. Avoid using too many transitional words. Primary reference: Ethics & Issues in Contemporary Nursing
