Firstly, looking at the first patient, whether she receives a kidney from her father or a "cadaver kidney", there will be no difference because she still needs a kidney . The second patient, however, cannot accept to donate his kidney because one of the main reasons is that he is afraid and lacks "the courage to make this donation"9. So precisely at this point we see that it would be better if the father did not give away his kidney because it would not give him any happiness, while the daughter has two possibilities to dedicate herself to everyday life, either on a basic personal level or on a professional basis, there are difficult scenarios, also called moral dilemmas. Depending on who the person is or what their beliefs and value systems are, the problem can be “solved”. In this particular case, doubts arise as to whether it is morally right to lie to family members when something can be done, ignoring the fact of its consequences. The case will be explained in detail later including the patient's status, but to answer this ethical question two theorists will be presented for and against. On the one hand, the deontologist Immanuel Kant will be presented with his theory that lying is prohibited under all circumstances, on the other, on the pro side, John Stuart Mill will be presented with the utilitarian theory that whatever decision brings the most happiness is the best . right decision. After discussing the case, my personal view on what is right will be stated with my reasons, which is that lying is the right decision to make.
