INTRODUCTION
Ethics is a science of the human conduct which consist of principles and guidelines which
inform the people as to how to behave and live in a particular situation. Law on other side is the
set of regulations and rules which creates the legal binding effect and obliged everyone to follow
it but ethics are non-binding (Ekmekci and Arda, 2020). This report shall deal with three
narratives which relates to legal and ethical considerations of them.
NARRATIVE TWO
Introduction
The policy and laws mandates the anonymity of the deceased donation which includes
disclosure of the identity and facilitation of the direct contract between the families and
recipients of donor. The connection between the donor and the receipt is hard as per the policy
prevailing in Australia but many community groups have begun advocating regarding change in
policy in order to built connection between families ad recipients easier.
Discussion
The ethical issue pertaining in this scenario includes the following-
 There must be privacy being maintained regarding the identity of the donor families and
protection must be given to their privacy and identity, especially regrading use of social
media. If the privacy of donor is breached, there may be consequences that the donor
family may not be comfortable in revealing their identity.
 When there is direct contact between the donor family and recipient there is unwanted
loss of privacy and more lack of protection, support and control for the mental health due
to risk of the direct contract. This may affect their mental peace and health.
 It is in the form of gratitude and commendation that the family of donor ask for the
privacy in order to prevent the constant reminder of the deceased family member. This
may result in fear of suffering harassment from the point of donor's family which may
lead in preference of not donating (Dean, 2021).
Legal framework
The laws which govern the confidentiality and privacy of the healthcare information
means that identify of deceased donor, its family members and the transplant recipient must only
be disclosed when there is consent of family and recipient. In Australia, the disclosure of identity
