Attitudes towards living organ donation: a cross-sectional survey study

The most motivating factors for considering living donation were having a child recipient, helping someone in need, high transplant center success rate, and helping a family member or friend. The most discouraging factors were uncompensated expenses, difficulty of surgery recovery, risk of surgery, and length of recovery. Participants were less willing to donate to adults, strangers, and recipients with alcohol-related liver disease.
