Organ procurement and transplantation involve ethically complex considerations across a variety of scenarios. Ethically sound practice in transplantation medicine requires, first and foremost, that both donors and recipients be carefully evaluated for suitability. Also central to all transplantation scenarios is ensuring that the rights and well-being of both donors and recipients are protected, that decisions to donate organs and tissues are well informed and voluntary, and that possible conflicts of interest are minimized. On the transplantation side, organs and tissues must be equitably distributed among patients on the basis of medical need
