A Sociological Look at Kidney Donation Promotion and Silence in the District of Abidjan

This study analyses the ideologies that construct the discourse of living transplant recipients in a scientific approach. To achieve the expected results, a methodology based on a qualitative approach was used. This allowed us to obtain the following results: The choice of a living donor raises ethical issues that need to be taken into account by the actors involved. This practice is in total contradiction with the first principle of medical ethics, which is "first, do no harm", since a healthy person is subjected to surgery with its risk of complications. This is only possible if the beneficiary's expected goal far outweighs the disadvantages of sampling.
