An elderly man was in need of a heart transplant and his doctor was discussing his options with him.
“We have three possible donors, Mr. Smith.” the doctor said. “You’ll have to tell me which one you’d like us to use. The first is a healthy athlete who was killed in a car crash. The second is a middle-aged businessman who died in an accident, never having had a drink and never having smoked his entire life. The third is a lawyer who died after practicing law for 25 years.” The patient thought it over and told his doctor that he would take the lawyer’s heart.After a successful transplant, the doctor asked the patient his reason for choosing the donor he did. “It was an easy decision, doctor,” replied the patient. “I wanted a heart that hadn’t been used.”
