bioethics in transplantation

Bioethics in transplantation involves the moral principles guiding organ donation and transplantation practices. It addresses issues like informed consent, ensuring donors and recipients understand and agree to procedures; fairness in allocating organs to those most in need; respecting donor autonomy; and the responsible use of scarce resources. Bioethics aims to balance the urgency of saving lives with respecting individual rights, cultural values, and ensuring ethical standards are upheld throughout the transplantation process.
