Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

Ok the following list is ten people who need a kidney. This is not real. Purely hypothetical. Normally in medicine they decide off of who is the healthiest and has a better chance of living a long life. These rules need not apply if you do not want them to.
Basically I am giving you free reign to decide how to judge which of these people should get a kidney.
1)A pregnant women with AIDS who works as a prostitute.
2) A member of a militant terrorist group who is in the US and is feared to have been planning an attack on the US.
3) A 40 year old diabetic male who is blind from diabetic retinopathy. (damage to the eye)
4) A 50 year old male in prison for murdering his pregnant wife 15 years ago.
5) A 35 year old mother of 3 girls who has breast cancer. She has been treated for a year and is not cured but the chemo has destroyed her kidneys. Cancer has spread to her lungs and possibly bones.
6) A 44 year old male alcoholic who has had no success with AA or any other form of treatment for his alcohol problem.
7) 70 year old female with severe osteoporosis and fractured hip.
15 year old teen who Over Dosed on drugs. He has permanent brain damage from the OD and is addicted to cocaine.
9) A 35 year old male in prison for rape.
10) 10 year old boy who is blind and deaf and has several other birth defects.
So you decide in which order they should get the kidney. If you can, give your philosophical or even personal opinion on why you ordered them as you did.
This is NOT homework help. It was just mentioned in class and I found it interesting.

dear all, my mother has diabetes for 15 years now. recently we got to know about her diabetes retinopathy and its fast deteriorating. the doctors have offered laser treatment and the corticosteroid injection. as much as i have read online it seems that the corticosteroid treatment hardly has any information or studies done. i was wondering :
if any of you have undergone the steroid treatment,
how long ago did u have it,
how frequently did u have to repeat it,
and did u develop any cataract and/or glaucoma cos of it?
any of you had the laser treatment done, then please tell me about your experience from that. how r u doing now? what r the side effects or long term effects? if someone gets worse since the laser treatment what options r there then? the more details you have the better for me. please please let me know as much as you can. we r so worried for her. we need to come to a solution ASAP. thank you all for your answers and time.
god bless you all with good health.

He can’t focus things even a few inches away. Image is blurry, but with no spots. He went to see a doctor who said the problem is diabetes related and unlikely to be reversed. The doctor didn’t provide details though and just told him to contact an association of diabetics who would know better about it. From what I’ve been reading, symptoms appear to be retinopathy’s, for which treatments have a high chance of success. Is that right? What treatment should he try? He’s desperate and can’t stop thinking he’ll lose his sight.
