A liver transplant once praised as a heroic act has taken a difficult turn after the son who donated part of his liver to save his father developed serious complications. While the surgery initially improved the father’s condition, the donor now faces ongoing medical challenges, reshaping the family’s emotional reality.
Health experts say the case highlights the hidden risks of living organ donation, which is often celebrated publicly but can carry long-term physical and psychological costs. Specialists stress that while donation can save lives, it requires careful counseling and support for donors before and after surgery.
