One way is to develop an attitude that could be described by the term “logic of gift.” The man as a social being, is willing to sacrifice for other people very much, even the sacrifice of himself. The attitude of the person who decides to give his organs is to be described as altruistic. For such virtues, however, you need to properly educate the people. This is the way to obtain more body organs and to prevent immoral abuses such as organ trafficking.The article discusses the problem of transplantation. It shows how the development of the Catholic Church thought about donating organs, reveals abuses which today are present at transplantation. Promotes the “logic of gift” or attitude opposite egoistic perception of your body as an absolute property.
