Salutations NaniGill,

It gives me great pleasure to assist you in this very biased argument with some unbiased thinking:

In my personal opinion, I believe those that have an addiction CHOSE that lifestyle as an easy way out to "reality". Thus it is THEIR fault for making such choices.

The word autonomy derives from a Greek word, which means "self-governing". People are most definitely capable of making their own choices/decisions that concerns their own life. If indeed people would like to smoke, eat fatty foods, or drink alcohol, this is their right to do so, correct? Of course, being addicted will stray them off the "autonomous choice".  We, the people that want to stop them, are acting like a "nannies" would preventing them from exercising their free will in regards to making said life choices, however. 

As Rose pointed out, needing a transplant might scare them enough into quitting. The addiction will often prevent the autonomous choice and being queued onto the transplant waiting list may help patients beat that addiction. 

IF lifestyle choices (whether good or bad) inhibit people from obtaining a transplant, then that should, for sure, apply to those doing "risky" activities as well. People who drive cars, ride motorcycles, ski, parachuting, etc.. would most likely receive the most appropriate care in the event of an accident. If that is the case, why is it the case? Why should those that do extreme sports be excluded from transplant lists?

The NHS (for example): states the following
-That it meets the needs of everyone;
-That it is free at the point of delivery;
-That it is based on clinical need, not ability to pay.

Such argument stating that those with "good" lifestyle is actually contradicting those principles.

Thus, we can safely say that "bad" lifestyle choices should have the same appropriate care to those with "good" lifestyle choices.

p.s. Im all for those to quit smoking and irresponsible drinking.
