>Apparently George Best has an organ donor card.

And the only one still in a usable condition looks like going to a Welsh rugby fan...

If he had been Joe Normal he wouldn't have got the new liver to knacker up in the first place. He has deprived somebody of a perfectly good liver.

I dont believe that. The agency responsible for transplants wouldnt do that.
George was the best candidate for the organ supplied.

You sanctimonious twat

He was given a liver because his doctor decided that he had a chance of living, in just the same way that anyone else would be given the chance.
As I pointed out in another thread, everyone is going to die anyway so why bother transplanting organs, it's just a waste.

How can a known alcoholic be the best candidate for a new liver? There are people out there who need transplants due to liver disease while Best went out of his way to destroy his own. The fact that he is well known and high profile will have helped push him up the queue.

I am sure (though it is my supposition) that the transplants list takes no notice of celebrity and I am sure that it does take notice of personal circumstances when deciding where an organ goes. The choice may have been Best or bin (some would say bin would have been best) rather than Best or second best.

According to Sky News, he's just died a few minutes ago.

He disappeared in the dead of winter:
The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted

And snow disfigured the public statues;
The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.

What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.


Far from his illness
The wolves ran on through the evergreen forests,
The peasant river was untempted by the fashionable quays;

By mourning tongues
The death of the poet was kept from his poems.

But for him it was his last afternoon as himself,
An afternoon of nurses and rumours;

The provinces of his body revolted,
The squares of his mind were empty,

Silence invaded the suburbs,
The current of his feeling failed; he became his admirers.

Now he is scattered among a hundred cities
And wholly given over to unfamiliar affections,
To find his happiness in another kind of wood

And be punished under a foreign code of conscience.
The words of a dead man
Are modified in the guts of the living.

But in the importance and noise of to-morrow
When the brokers are roaring like beasts on the floor of the Bourse,

And the poor have the sufferings to which they are fairly accustomed,
And each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom,

A few thousand will think of this day
As one thinks of a day when one did something slightly unusual.

What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.
