Transplantation Ethics: Balancing organ availability and Fairness in Allocation

Roel Jennifer

Organ transplantation is a life-saving procedure that has helped to improve the quality of life for millions around the world. Advances in medical technology and research have made it possible for people to receive organ transplants from donors, either living or deceased, to replace damaged or diseased organs. However, the demand for organs far exceeds the availability, creating ethical challenges for those involved in the allocation process. Transplantation ethics have evolved over time to address these challenges, trying to balance the need for organ availability with fairness and equity in allocation. This paper will explore the ethical issues associated with organ transplantation, particularly with regard to organ allocation, and how they are addressed in practice.
