The scenario which best presents most complex bioethics issues is deciding between two needy patients for an organ donation.

Option D

Explanation:

The most complex situation occurs where the two needy patients requires an organ donation and specifically when the same organ is needed by both the needy patients. In due matter of such bioethics, usually the depth of need is evaluated for both the patients according to their survival instincts and responses.
