> By what specific evidence do you suggest that one person is "better" than another, or the "best [person] for the job"? Experience and/or accomplishments for the vast majority of jobs. Under what circumstances do you believe it is not possible to select among candidates based on merit? |

* Blood type
* Immune system mismatch
* Organ size
* Distance donated organ must travel
* Urgency of donation
The closest we come to considering life experience is in two time-related criteria: Children and adults are different (relates to organ size), and time spent on waitlists is taken into account (relates to urgency).
Certainly, a merit-based organ transplant system is possible. In China, there are reports of (involuntary) organ harvesting from political and religious undesirables [2]; these people have been deemed meritless. China continues to work to deploy a single system for measuring merit, the Social Credit System [1].
For hiring and jobs, we might imagine hiring people based on skill sets and job duties; we would consider people based on their ability to carry out the tasks required of the position. Just like with organ transplants, this is a pragmatic approach, rather than one based on celebrity or subtlety.
