5/10

Warning: Spoilers
Like a couple of other reviewers here, I was shocked at the casual and quick acceptance by three doctors of a lie to an organ donor in order to get an organ (despite the likability and need of one of the organ recipients). I thought that it was likely that this plot line was supposed to tie in with another, that of the supposed cancer victim whose deception led to publicity and much fund-raising for his charity. I thought perhaps the writers meant to examine how much bending of the truth was ethical in order to achieve some good. However, the comparison was never made. Most of the characters were horrified at the fake cancer victim, but the lie to the organ donor was barely dealt with. Very strange.

However, I'm not that familiar with the characters, having only seen several of the shows this season only. Did anyone think of Madison Cawthorn while watching this episode?
