A member asked:
Would it be safe to donate my liver to my identical twin sister?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Part of liver: In the case of a living related donor, a part of the liver is removed for transplantation. It is a serious and extensive surgical procedure with considerable morbidity and occasional mortality. You need to have an extensive discussion with your doctor and clergy to decide whether the risk is acceptable to you.
