Yes, a doctor can deny or approve of who gets an organ based on statistical data. Who would do the most with the organ vs who would it be a waste with. There's a limited supply of organs and a long list of people needing them. It's a hard choice but it needs to be made.
When that heart was given to him, someone else died as a result. Could of been a guy with a young wife, two kids and a blooming career or anyone else that would of lived a life worthy of it. He not only wasted his second chance but someone else's as well.
It was a tragedy that the heart was squandered.
