11. But it is narcissism

The odds of her surviving the surgery are relatively low. The odds that she'll survive more than a few years are effectively zero. In spite of that, they're willing to take the lungs from others with more transient illnesses (like lung cancer) who could have lived a long, full life with them. They are willing to end the lives of others, including teenagers who COULD have survived, just so that they can spend a few extra weeks or months with her.

They are concerned only with themselves, and don't care about the long term negative impact that their decisions are going to have on other patients and families.
