Patients with severe liver disease will now be eligible for transplants, as part of a pilot scheme. Is that right?

One in five liver transplants already involve patients whose conditions are linked to drinking, but now people with severe liver disease will also be eligible, as part of an NHS pilot. They'll be a tight selection procedure, but is is right? Would you want your liver to go to a big drinker? Should people who damage their liver by drinking too much get a new one on the NHS?
