# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Donation from alive people has been growing strongly in the recent years, thanks to the
advance in the field of organ transplantation and its success as a treatment to procure
quality-adjusted life years for many patients with end–stage diseases. The choice of
transplantation from a living donor (LD) offers some advantages compared to that for a
deceased donor. However, it also carries disadvantages related to donor risks in terms of
health and safety, and there are several controversial ethical aspects to be taken into
account.
There is no specific pronouncement of the European Union in relation to standards to
quality and safety for the living donor process, and there is a great heterogeneity among
European Countries legislation, ethical concern, and protection systems and donor´s data
registries on the topic. The EULID project aims to establish European common standard
framework regarding living donor issues to guarantee their health and safety thorough
common practices and regulation.
