Transplantation represents one of the biggest achievements of medical science however; it is marred with a host of ethical challenges.
Transplantation and organ donation is considered to be a noble deed as it can help someone take another shot at life. Healthy living organs (especially in the case of deceased) does not go in waste and helps save a life.
Although both the parties do not stand anything to lose (unless in the case of living organ transplant), a host ofethical issues arise.
Key ethical challenges • The no. of organs available for donation is greatly falling short of the no. of transplants needed in the country. This raises questions of transparency and distributive justice. • Although living organ donation is an option, main source of organs is from a deceased which needs family consent. • The consent on the other hand is not only dependent on the procedure but also on cultural, religious and political factors.
Ethical questions that needs to be addressed • With supply falling short of demand, should organ transplant be done on a first come, first serve basis? • Should a person who comes second and is more critical be left to die in order to practice distributive justice? • Should a family member be allowed to give consent for a deceased when the deceased would not have wanted so?
