Abstract
In this chapter, we will discuss ethical issues associated with unspecified living organ donation. We start by providing some background information about the practice, and explaining how it differs from other forms of donation. We then focus in detail on how the medical ethical principle of ‘first do no harm’ operates within this context, and consider whether unspecified living organ donation falls foul of this principle. In the final section, we explore whether, given the preceding discussion, facilitating unspecified living organ donation is broadly consistent with the aims and values of the medical profession.
