Abstract
Donor organ allocation and distribution depend on applying ethical principles of justice, utility and equity in a transparent manner. These ethical principles must be defined in objective ways in order to measure the success of the allocation systems. This chapter will briefly outline how these three ethical principles bear on specific aspects of liver transplantation, distinguish between distribution and allocation, and compare specific distribution and allocation policies that are currently employed for deceased‐donor liver grafts.
