So, here's what's been going on in my life. My mother has been an alcoholic for my entire 24 years of life, even before that in fact. I just got news today after her visit at a UCDavis. They gave her 90 days to live if she doesn't get a liver transplant... I honestly don't know what to do. Do I give her my liver? I hate alcohol so it's relatively healthy. But... I just... I'm sorry. I don't have anyone I can talk to about this and really need some advice that's not from WebMD. Any one have some advice on how to go about this? I'd be eternally grateful.

@Nobody8524 hi, I've never been in this situation so if you must take the advice with a grain of salt but this is what I would want someone to say to me. If your mum was trying to come off alcohol and go with the sobriety (I think that's what it's called) then I would give it some thought cause at least she is trying to be better for her health and all. However if she wasn't and was going to continue drinking then I would be less inclined to 'cause she's just going to damage the liver that she's gonna get after the transplant. It's your body and you can decide whatever you want to do with it, I would just consider the facts of what the most likely route that is going to happen if you do go with the surgery and give her your liver. You don't have to do the surgery if you don't want to, it doesn't make you a bad person just because you refuse to do so for whatever reason you choose no matter what other people say. All the advice I can really give is if you don't want to then don't just because she's your mother doesn't mean you owe her anything. But is you do decide to do it, make sure it's for the right reasons and your not getting pressured into anything you don't want to do no matter what status the hold.
