 AB    The criteria nurses and patients believe should be used to allocate
       hearts for transplantation were explored and compared in a descriptive
       study. Although the majority of both groups agreed that patients with
       AIDS or who are HIV positive should not receive a transplant, the two
       groups agreed very little on the other criteria. This research has
       implications for clinical care and ethical decision making.
