There are two issues here- Size of the donor and if the liver size to be given to recipient is safe for the donor - what of the donor dies after donation - should doctors take this risk on order of a courts judgement. Second is commerce. Love and affection is a very grey area. When there is disparity in income - love and affection should be thrown out of window. As far as Mr.Deshmukh is concerned it is not true that donor was not available - there were three cadaver available that day and next day - 2 in Chennai and one in Mumbai. Mr.Deshmukh was too sick for a transplant. The chances of survival even if he had a transplant was very very bleak.
