Introduction: Organ transplants from living donors may be a partial kidney and liver, intestine and even lung. If they vary mainly in the risk to the donor and results in graft survival, the legal implication is the same. So I will focus for this chapter in the protocol with more experience, the less risk to the donor and better results: the living kidney donation. Kidney transplantation has proven to be the best treatment of chronic renal failure in terms of survival, quality of life, fewer complications and better cost-benefit ratio compared to dialysis. Current status of the living donor: Kidney transplant from a living donor is performed in 14 of the 17 regions of the country. Highlighted in the year 2013 Catalonia (165 transplantations), Andalusia (60 transplants), Madrid (40 transplants) and the Basque Country (38 transplants). The evolution of cross-national transplantation plan, with a significant increase in the number of transplants, since its inception in 2009 with two kidney transplants, 41 kidney transplants from living donors crossed in 2013. Legislation: The living donor kidney transplantation was regulated in Spain by Law 30/1979 transplant. This law regulated living donation of an organ if it is compatible with the life and function of the body or part of it offset by the body. Further specifies that the fate of organ transplantation to be a certain person. Then he followed the Royal Decree 2070/1999, Law 41/2002 of Patient Autonomy and finally Royal Decree 1723/2012, 28 December. At the European level, Directive 2010/45/EU of the European Parliament and right of the European Council of July 7, 2010.
