58. Organ Transplant Dilemma in the Hospital You are a doctor at a top hospital. You have six gravely ill patients, five of whom are in urgent need of organ transplants. You can't help them, though, because there are no available organs that can be used to save their lives. The sixth patient, however, will die without a particular medicine. If s/he dies, you will be able to save the other five patients by using the organs of patient 6, who is an organ donor. What do you do? Added 25 September 2016 Show Solution Solution: You administer the medicine to Patient 6 and do not harvest any organs; killing a patient for parts is unethical and illegal, so the other five must go untreated.
