Public Awareness and Attitudes to Living Organ Donation
A. Tong, J. Chapman, G. Wong, M. Josephson, J. Craig

Background: The deceased donor organ shortage has driven widespread adoption of living donor transplantation. Yet, public preferences for living donation are not well understood. This study aims to synthesize studies on public attitudes to living organ donation.

 ...

Conclusion: The public is generally supportive of living related organ donation and articulated important equity and ethical considerations for protecting the health and safety of living donors. This supports increased public engagement and strengthening of a shared view among professionals and the public in the formation of living donation practice and policy.
