I have a problem when an accident victim cant get one, when someone who has/had a chronic drinking/smoking/eating problem needs one, I dont shed a single tear (is that the worlds smallest violen playing?)
That is the reason I havent nor will ever sign a donor card because I would want mine to someone who deserves life, not somone who has squandered it.
I apologize in advance if this offends anyone but sometimes the truth hurts.

They don't consider people with chronic problems like you list for organ transplants. It would be a "band-aid" solution so they wouldn't waste a viable organ on a short-term fix. Its actually quite an extensive list of requirements to get on the transplant list.
Just sign your damn card.
