摘要: Living donor kidney transplantation occurs when a person willingly donates to in need. As such, it involves two values that medical ethicists look upon with great esteem: autonomy and altruism. Autonomy stands as one of the fundamental factors influencing ethical decisions. According Beauchamp Walters (1), principle can be formulated follows: “Insofar an autonomous agent’s actions do not infringe on others, should free perform whatever action he or she wishes (presumably even if considerable risk himself herself others consider foolish)” (1). In ethics, this demands health care providers either respect patient have very good reasons so.
