As a physician you have two patients for lung transplantation. You only have one pair of lungs available. One of the patients is 55 years old and is a Non smoker. The other patient is 45 years old and in spite of all efforts is unable to quit smoking. How will you take a decision about the transplantation between the two patients
A. According to the age of the patient
B. Productivity
C. The probability for quitting smoking

I'd say C....not because it makes perfect sense but by exclusion of A and B.
I wouldn't go for A because 10 yrs is not a significant age difference to be basing such a decision on.
You can't gauge "productivity" so it can't be B.Pretty controversial this...where's the ques from achilles?

Once I was watching ER and one doctor said to her patient who needed liver transplantation that he have to quit drinking, otherwise he will be left without transplantation. So, I think, by analogy, correct answer here is C.
