Your organs after death – a gift of life or an ethical boundary?

Your organs after death – a gift of life or an ethical boundary? This question touches on one of the most sensitive issues of modern medicine. On the one hand, transplants save thousands of lives, and conscious consent to donate organs seems like a beautiful gesture of solidarity. On the other hand, many people fear abuses, mention cases of organ harvesting without full consent, or even suspect that the brain death criterion was created mainly to increase “resources” for transplantation. Religions raise the argument of the sanctity of the body, while skeptics warn against the risk of a purely business-oriented approach to human organs. Is donating organs after death the highest form of altruism, or a decision that opens the door to abuses?
