Article Abstract:

The removal of an organ from a child's body can be extremely beneficial for the children with disabilities that have several non-life-saving interventions on a regular basis, as it might reduce their problems and discomfort. The analysis shows that despite the advantages of organ removal, there are many people who think such a practice is ethically wrong, as it can sabotage the quality of life of people, who do not even have a say in the decision.
