Introduction:

The issue at hand, organ transplantation, has different characteristics that make it differ from other medical concerns. First, beyond the boundaries of the doctor-patient to depend for its conduct of a third peripheral element to it: the organ donor. Therefore, although current organ transplantation is a common treatment technique due to rapid technological advances, it is not possible without the donation of organs. Importantly for understanding and incorporating activity transplantation and the process of organ donation by the community in general, socio-cultural changes required for which we do not dwell on this work. Secondly, when we ask about "who can be the donor and what circumstances it will follow," we enter the ethical and legal transplantation, which is the subject we want to tackle. (Marco Segree, 1992.4, pp 305-307)

The shortage of organs for medical research directed to developing new innovative techniques (e.g., separation and reduction of the liver), which added to the existing (bone marrow, renal ablation and pancreatic parts) to provide-a persons in need of a transplant-a new alternative to living donor. Thus raises new ethical problem: the doctor, whose duty designated by the Hippocratic tradition is not damaged, proceed with the ablation of the organ or segment thereof, in a healthy person. This involves submitting to that healthy person at risk and suffering to save the life of another patient. From a moral standpoint this technique generated controversy. When considering a breach of a moral rule we must stop at the analysis of the morally related features of the situation to know what kind of action before we met. Consider then the case of live donor organs under this ethical theory. 1 - In the case of live organ donor, we would find a violation of the rule not to harm or cause pain, and additional rules ...
