Five teenagers with a rare disease are hospitalized and will die unless they receive organ transplants today.

Question:

Five teenagers with a rare disease are hospitalized and will die unless they receive organ transplants today. A healthy teenager visits the hospital for a health checkup and has routine tests. The test results reveal that the healthy teenager's organs can successfully save the five dying teenagers. If the healthy teenager's organs are transferred to the sick teenagers, all five healthy teenagers will live full lives, but the healthy teenager has a 5% chance of dying during the procedure. The procedures will be performed under anesthesia, so no one will feel any pain. Should a doctor initiate these procedures without the healthy teenager's consent?
