OPTN Living Donor Committee

The OPTN Living Donor Committee is a group that oversees and develops policies related to living organ donors—people who choose to donate a kidney or part of their liver while they are still alive. Their goal is to ensure the safety, fairness, and ethical treatment of donors, as well as to improve procedures and guidelines. They work to balance the needs of recipients with the rights and well-being of donors, promoting practices that support safe donation processes and maintain public trust in organ transplantation.
