procuring and allocating organs for transplantation is given below

Explanation:

Major ethical concerns about organ donation by living related donors focus on the possibility of undue influence and emotional pressure and coercion. By contrast, the living unrelated donor lacks genetic ties to the recipient.

Utility, justice, and respect for persons are three foundational ethical principles that create a framework for the equitable allocation of scarce organs for transplantation.

Matching donor organs with transplant candidates

Using the combination of donor and candidate information, the UNOS computer system generates a “match run,” a rank-order list of candidates to be offered each organ. This match is unique to each donor and each organ.

Factors in organ allocation

When a transplant hospital accepts a person as a transplant candidate, it enters medical data—information such as the person's blood type and medical urgency and the location of the transplant hospital—about that candidate into UNOS' computerized network.

Finally the two major ethical issues that are of considerable concern are the autonomy of the donor and recipient and the utility of the procedure. The transplant team must inform the donor of all the risks. The recipient must also accept that the donor is placing himself at great risk
