He was a Baseball Hall of Fame\tcenter fielder for the New York Yankees whose liver was failing because of\tcirrhosis and hepatitis. Although the waiting period for a liver transplant in\tthe United States is about 130 days, it took only two days for the Baylor\tMedical Center’s transplant team to find an organ donor for the 63-year-old\tformer baseball hero.\t\tAccording\tto the director of the Southwest Organ Bank, Mantle was moved ahead of others\ton the list because of his deteriorating medical condition; however, there were\tmixed feelings about speeding up the process for a celebrity. Mantle was known\tfor overcoming immense obstacles, and many argued that the medical system\tshould provide exceptions for heroes. He was also a recovering alcoholic, which\tfurther complicated the ethical implications of the case. Because of Mantle’s\tmedical problems, doctors estimated that he had only a 60 percent chance for a\tthree-year survival; whereas, liver transplant patients typically have about a\t78 percent chance for a three-year survival rate.\t\tAs in the case of the liver transplant for Mickey Mantle, should\tthe system make exceptions for real heroes? Why or why not?\t\tWrite\u00a0a\t1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you\u00a0analyze\u00a0the Mickey Mantle case using the\tSeven-Step Decision Model.\t\tClick\u00a0the\tAssignment Files tab to submit your assignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
