Abstract: Apart from the practical problems that we are faced with in the case of organ donation, there lay a series of terminological issues in need of a thorough clarification. Recently, the ELPAT group on living donors (Ethical, Legal and Psychological Aspects of Organ Transplantation) has proposed a new clarification for living organ donors. This classification (F. M. Dor et al, 2011) attempts to avoid ambiguities and the other problems of current taxonomies. Our paper attempts to provide an ethical analysis of this terminology.
