Abstract: Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease. Given the scarcity of donor organs, the processes of donor matching and organ allocation are critical to ensure equitable and effective use of available resources. This paper explores the ethical principles and clinical considerations underpinning liver transplantation, focusing on donor-recipient matching, allocation algorithms, and the integration of emerging technologies.
