A Critical Appraisal of Carl Cohen “Presumed Consent” in Organ DonationJamiu Kunle Ayýnde1, Babajide Dasaolu21Department of Philosophy, Lagos State University, Lagos, Nigeria2Department of Philosophy, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun, Nigeria INTRODUCTION: This paper identifies the Achilles heels in Carl Cohen’s notion of organ donation. It posits that presumed consent cannot sufficiently solve the problem of organ shortage. Presumed consent though might improve the number of organs available; it does not resolve all moral challenges faced by presumed refusal as assumed by Cohen. Jamiu Kunle Ayýnde, Babajide Dasaolu.
