Altruistic Organ Donation

Altruistic organ donation refers to the act of donating an organ, such as a kidney or part of the liver, to someone in need without any personal connection to the recipient. This selfless act is usually motivated by a desire to help others and can save or significantly improve the lives of those suffering from organ failure. Altruistic donors often enter a registry, and their donations are matched to patients based on medical compatibility. This type of donation is important as it can increase the number of available organs, reducing waiting times and helping to address the shortage of organ donations.
