altruistic living donation

Altruistic living donation involves someone donating an organ, such as a kidney or part of their liver, to a person in need without expecting anything in return. It’s a selfless act driven by compassion, often saving or greatly improving the recipient’s quality of life. These donors typically go through thorough medical and psychological evaluations to ensure safety and suitability. Because they do not have a personal connection or financial incentive, altruistic donations are motivated solely by kindness and the desire to help others, making them a vital component of addressing organ shortages.
