As a 49 yearold Jewish woman, who needs a double-lung transplant, you have certainly shed light on some cloudy issues that I have been weighing on my conscience. Thank you for putting the cards on the table, from both a Halachic and Secular point of view, Frankly, I find that by following my Jewish instincts, my soul and heart, I find myself praying for lungs as soon as possible while not wishing any unnecessary pain or sorrow for others. In that regard, I am confident that Hashem understands the ethics better than me. Thank you again for your sharing your knowledge and insight.
