Hcs 457 week 1 discussion q2

Thanks for kicking off the discussion about social justice and market justice in which you lean toward social justice.

Case Study: We have a patient who can’t get on the transplant list for a kidney because she smokes. Another one of our patients, Mr. X, is having a nicotine test done next week to prove he quit smoking so he can get on the list. 

Class, would you approve Mr X. be on the kidney transplant list if he smokes? Keeping social justice and market justice in mind, please defend your answer.
