Ethical Principles in Organ Donation

Ethical principles in organ donation include autonomy, which respects individuals' rights to make informed decisions about their own bodies; beneficence, which aims to do good by saving lives through donations; and justice, ensuring fair access to organs regardless of socioeconomic status or background. Additionally, the principle of non-maleficence emphasizes avoiding harm, ensuring that the process is safe for both donors and recipients. Transparency and respect for donor consent are crucial, as well as the need for ethical practices in allocation to maintain public trust in the organ donation system.
