United Network for Organ Sharing policy allows patients to be listed for a transplant at multiple hospitals. This strategy can sometimes lessen the transplant waiting time for patients because waiting times vary geographically. We explore the ethical dilemma of "shopping for a transplant" by presenting the case of a patient with an addictive disorder who was listed for liver transplantation at one hospital on the east coast of the United States and was seeking listing at 2 additional hospitals in midwestern United States, when marijuana use was suspected by 1 of the latter 2 facilities. Although the transplant team at this facility deferred listing the patient, the team's bioethicist posed the concept of a duty to notify the facility where the patient was already listed for transplantation about any confirmed substance abuse, in an effort to prevent a scarce resource from being allocated to an individual who is noncompliant.
