I'd be willing to bet the doctors who are concerned have all their body
parts. Besides, cut off their dominant hand and see how fast they would stop
calling a hand 'non-essential'.
I don't see anything about _why_ they feel it is more ethical to
transplant a heart compared to a hand. Why its more ethical to bury a hand
and let it rot than give it someone who needs one.
