The unfairness of a terminally ill person that's not eligible for a regular heart transplant receiving an experimental treatment that might just as well kill him, but in the long run might save many more? Or is it the unfairness of never being able to escape ones past?

The social implication can be as incredible as we all imagine, it's still unbearable for the family involved.
