Man, this is a great topic for the bar...

It's like the old "values clarification" exercises they used to do...playing lifeboat!!

You could make an argument for giving it to the one who is going to die the soonest (i.e. Triage care)...

My first inclination is the whole "who is going to get the most out of it"...of course that would leave the 49 yr old mother to probably NEVER get a new kidney because there will always be some young'un that needs it.

Sheesh...that is tough question that requires a lot more thought than I've given it so far....I'm gonna go with Triage for right now. Whoever is sickest, gets it...all other variables being equal.
Man I wish medicine was that simple. Just remember to screen out expectant.
