Scientific developments of the last 20 years have made the transplantation of cadaveric solid organs a viable and expected treatment alternative for patients suffering from various forms of End Stage Organ Disease. Of the number of organs that could be utilized for this, only a small percentage of them are actually made available. North American Legislation explicity categorizes the transfer of cadaveric organs as an anatomical or tissue “gift”. The concept of the gift is mediated by transculturally consintent unwritten, but powerfully felt, rules of conduct. Among is central to the gift-relationship. Obviously, neither of these are permitted by the organ transplant scenario. As a result, dissonance is created within the many into inaction. We maintain that the present legal framework, designed to facilitate the transfer of organs, clashes with human phenomenon of giving, and may actually prevent organs from being made available. In a search for a solution to this gift-relationship dilemma, giving organs is constrasted with taking organs as a basis upon which to ground ethically sopund public policy. Liberty-limiting principles and the concept of harm are considered within this context.
