A dilemma from dilemmas.day
Your child will die if they don't get a kidney transplant in 24 hours. There is a matching organ from a deceased patient with no family, but they signed a document refusing to be a donor. Only you have access to that file.
ADestroy the file
You forge the consent and save your child. You violate a dead person's final wish and commit medical fraud.
BRespect the signature
You leave the organ. Your child dies while waiting, but you preserve professional ethics and the deceased's wishes.
