Nope. This seems like a stupid rule.

Transplant guidelines in Ontario and much of Canada require patients with ALD to first qualify for a deceased donor liver. If they don't meet that criteria, they aren't considered for a living liver transplant, even if one is available.

It was perfectly possible with her partners liver. This is just "no you didn't do what we want so we just let you die", and you're here trying to justify that.

okay doctor. can you think of a reason why they aren't considered for a living donor? besides corruption and malfeasance?
