Sourcing organs from living donors raises important moral questions that we need to think about carefully.

First, let’s talk about autonomy, or choice. Living donors must really understand the risks involved in donating. For example, a healthy person may feel they should donate an organ to help a loved one. But this could hurt their own health in the long run.

Next, informed consent is very important. Donors should know all the potential risks and feel free to make their own choice. Sometimes, people in low-income neighborhoods may feel pressured to donate their organs because they need money. This situation raises concerns about taking advantage of them.

There are also societal implications to consider. If we start normalizing buying and selling organs, it might turn healthcare into a business. This could create a situation where rich people have more access to organs. This would make the gap between the rich and poor even bigger.

In summary, even though living organ donation can save lives, it comes with a lot of ethical challenges. We need to think seriously about these issues and create a strong moral approach to handle them wisely.
