To give or not to give, and to whom?—These are the questions! Determinants of selective organ donation intentions

The findings suggest that while normative beliefs and perceived benefits enhance willingness to engage in POD, concerns about bodily integrity, mistrust, and aversion responses hinder such intentions. The role of instrumental harm underscores the ethical complexities in organ donation decision-making. Context also matters, as donation to vulnerable recipients (e.g., children with disabilities) elicited the strongest support. These results highlight the importance of addressing mistrust and disgust-related barriers, while strengthening moral and normative frameworks, to promote organ donation.
