“…In the United States, India and the United Kingdom, directed deceased donation (without euthanasia) is allowed under strict conditions [ 12 – 14 ]. As an example, the UK policy requires that the request for the allocation of an organ to a specific recipient should be to a relative or friend of long standing, while no other patients are in urgent clinical need of the organ, that the specific recipient is on the transplant waiting list or could be considered to be placed on the waiting list, and that in life, the deceased had indicated a decision to donate to a specific recipient in need of an organ, or, in the absence of that indication, that the family of the deceased expresses such a decision.…”

Organ donation after euthanasia is performed in Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada and Spain. Directed deceased organ donation is currently possible under strict conditions in a limited number of countries, while it is currently not possible to opt for directed donation following euthanasia. While organ donation after euthanasia is a deceased donation procedure, directed organ donation after euthanasia could be seen as a deceased donation procedure with a living donation consent process. Therefore, directed organ donation after euthanasia is feasible on medical and ethical grounds. Strict safeguards should be in place, including the requirement of a pre-existing familial or personal relationship with the proposed recipient, without any evidence of coercion or financial gain.
