How Did You Answer “The Liver Problem” (Saving Human Lives)? Why Did You Select This Particular Candidate to Receive the Liver Transplant?
Social questionnaires consistently show that although people know about the need for donor organs, they reluctantly agree on use of their own bodies or of their relatives. Saving human lives is always a worthy action, though by what cause? Transplants may be taken either from death people or alive, but both are to be adjusted with the donor and his/her relatives. Saving a human life is definitely to be done when it is possible and agreed upon.

The choice of candidates depends on the two major factors: willingness to donate and aptitude of organs. Donation is a manifestation of high moral and ethical qualities (Nhs.uk, 2015). The consequences of taking tissue or organ are not indifferent and sometimes are quite dangerous for both donor and recipient. In each case of donation doctors decide individually comparing the expected therapeutic effect for the recipient with the degree of negative consequences for the donor, as well as possible complications for both.
Motives of people are understandable as everyone wants to live. At the same time donors may have desire to save someone’s life, for instance, on religious thoughts. Doctors, on their behalf, should make everything possible to save one’s life, but in case of impossibility should warn the donor and relatives about the possible results and opportunity to save one’s life (Nhs.uk, 2015).
Donation is reasoned as it is a question of saving one’s life. Relatives may judge using the donor’s organs as it would be desecration of a human’s body, though it is saving one’s life. One that is for sure is that doctors are to be certain in the donor’s death.
The premise for donation is saving someone’s life. Irrespective to anything, to donate or not is a choice of a person. Buying or selling of organs is unacceptable. Donation is a free-will action that is to be regarded considering personal view, matching, etc.
