Abstract

And who ever saves one life as if he had saved mankind entirely. Altruism is divine gesture of humanism and an important principle of Islam. The lives of twenty seven individuals can be saved on the off chance that one individual consents to give organs after death, however, there is little awareness with respect to deceased organ donation. This paper aims to provide an unbiased summary of the legal opinions on deceased organ donation and the reasons for the debate as to whether it is reasonable or otherwise.
