Abstract
With the progress of science, organ transplantation emerged as one of the modern innovations of the medical science. Like other innovations, organ transplantation brings individuals in the society some disadvantages alongside numerous advantages. Legislators have therefore adopted rules and regulations for the mutual support of society members and their rights.In this article the researchers will examine the current regulations on organ transplantation in Iran. Legal sources in Iran, especially the constitution, Islamic criminal law, health and sanitary regulations, moral codes and so on will be referred to in this respect.In the constitution (as epigraph of all laws and regulations within the country), articles 14, 29, 43, 167 will be examined, and in Islamic criminal law articles 159, 372, 495, 497 and 724 will be discussed as the most significant existing articles on organ transplantation. In relation to the moral codes and medical and sanitary regulations we studied the following: Organ transplantation act of April 5, 2000 about the deceased or patients whose brain death has been confirmed the protocol on confirmation of brain death, established 2000 executive regulations for transplant from the deceased or patients whose brain death has been confirmed, adopted May 15, 2002 act of renal transplantation and donation from living donors passed on October 20, 2008 executive regulation 13101 approved on April 29, 2006 about living donors (with the exception of transplantation from a living donor to a foreign citizen) and the charter of patient’s rights ratified in 2009. Lastly, it should be mentioned that transplantation laws and regulations that presently exist in Iran appear to be inadequate for the purpose of resolving the current challenges and problems.

Abstract
To consider ourselves as "lesser evil" and to consider ourselves "holier" are two different categories in evaluating moral action, that its motivation and success rate vary in each other. After reviewing the justification mechanisms in four real situations involving altruistic act, the present study seeks to examine the validity of the current models of the temporality of justification for moral disengagement in terms of inclusion. In addition to verify the common models for categorizing justifications in two situations as "less evil" and as "holier", this examination aims to clarify the moral behaviors of the moral actor and facilitate ethical judgment in a more analytical space. The participants of the study were 71 undergraduate and postgraduate students at Shiraz University selected in convenience method. In order to evaluate how respondents respond to situations which require altruistic action, four realistic situations of altruistic action were designed. The responses and justifications presented by those who didn’t cooperate with the altruistic plan were subjected to direct content analysis. In the face of the altruistic plans of those who refuse, their justifications were in accordance with some of the mechanisms mentioned in the background. However, there were two categories of justification that were not understandable with the categories in the literature. These two categories are named according to their core themes, self-oriented justification, and other-oriented justification. The results implied confirmation of Klein and Epleis’s distinction of motivation toward lesser evil and holier.
